2029's To Know Before High School

The 2029 Class in the Midwest is filled with talent in all different shapes and sizes. Here are just a handful of players that you should have an idea of moving into their Freshman summer.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    [player_tooltip player_id='1090884' first='Hayden' last='Keith'] of Evans Middle School comes to us as an interesting prospect for her age with her mixture of size and skill. Keith is one of those at the middle school level that can play the PG spot, all the way up to the PF position if need be. She has demonstrated over her past few seasons with 212 that she can handle the ball at a steady rate, she can catch in the midrange and create, or she can post up someone smaller and score with her back toward the basket. It's always a jump to play the high school level but I think Keith could see Varsity time early in her career if she keeps progressing. At this point she has a lot of promise, now it's all about her work over the next few years.     It's going to be exciting to see Grace Miner at the high school level this next Winter with Millard West. Miner would be categorized as a PG, that can shoot the leather off of the basketball from deep. Whenever she has the ball over half court, you need to have someone within reach because if not, it's probably going up. The biggest question over the next four years will be her growth in the departments of everything else that isn't handling, shooting, or defending. She obviously still needs to grow in those aspects as well but for her collegiate recruitment, that will depend on her overall game comparatively. Moving into the AAU season and Miner is looking pretty good so far. Hopefully she can keep that momentum up moving into Spring.     Someone that should be a game changer almost immediately next season will be [player_tooltip player_id='1044963' first='Tenley' last='Levin'] of Solon High School. Levin has that mixture of length, athletic ability, coordination, balance, smarts, and skill that every coach loves to see. Standing at almost 6'0 already, Levin is going to join the Spartans varsity team and impact things right away if she plays to her full capabilities. This Spring she will be competing up an age level with Missouri Phenom's 15U EYBL team, so that will give her some good experience before taking the floor in the black and orange in a few short months.     From everything that I have seen, [player_tooltip player_id='928443' first='Maya' last='Jenkins'] is going to be someone to know throughout her high school career. Jenkins is a shifty guard, that understands space and time better than most her age. She knows when to stop her speed and slow things down, compared to when she should speed it up and play down hill. Defensively, she has fast acting hands that lead to a lot of chaos against whoever she is matchups against. Forest City will return some pieces following this season so we will just have to see where Jenkins will stack up following another AAU campaign with her [program_tooltip program_id='860091' first='Iowa' last='Ice'] program.     To compete at Lincoln Christian is a tough task. This is a program that is riding a hot steak for the past few seasons now. This Winter, they are dominating in usual fashion and their prospects have the numbers to prove it. Someone who will be joining LC this upcoming Fall is [player_tooltip player_id='897131' first='Stella' last='Burgher']. Burgher is someone that should catch the attention of the coaches right away. She is a CG, that is a solid competitor with a high motor. There aren't many times where I watch her compete and see her run out of energy. Most of the time it's go, go, go. LC is looking like they are going to bring home another State Title this Winter. I'm sure following that they will be excited to load up once again with prospects like Burgher coming in.
