2029 Player Rankings Update: Top Of The Class Considerations

It is coming close to the time where we will see the 2029 Class in action at the high school level and I can't wait! In this article we highlight five players from this Class throughout Iowa that will be considered for the Top Spots when the # Update for this group drops in Late 2025/Early 2026.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    [player_tooltip player_id='951657' first='Tenley' last='Levin'] is the front runner for the #1 spot in this 2029 Class with her mixture of skill, size, and smarts for her age level. Levin just finished a successful AAU season with her 8th grade EYBL Missouri Phenom crew. She demonstrated that she can lead in all facets of the game from a skill level, as well as a leadership level by example. She is someone that does a little bit of everything with her team and the state of Iowa is going to see that first hand at Solon this upcoming Winter season.     The hooper that is going to be highly considered at the #2 spot for this Class will be [player_tooltip player_id='1238114' first='Quinn' last='Sievers'] of Newell-Fonda High School. Sievers is highly skilled as a playmaker with the rock in her possession. She can kill her defender off the dribble, taking it 1 on 5 through an entire defense for an easy assist or look at the bucket, or she can back it out and shoot a fundamental three-ball off of the catch. Defensively, she is ferocious getting her hands on deflections and causing chaos in the open floor. As an entire prospect, Sievers already checks off a lot of boxes that the collegiate level looks for. If she can steadily progress as she continues to get older, she is going to have a boatload of offers prior to her commitment.     [player_tooltip player_id='1169794' first='Emma' last='Ryder'] is going to put up some note worthy numbers this Winter at Ottumwa High School with her skill-set and the competition level that she will compete against. Ryder is coming into high school at 6'1, with a soft touch, good balance, coordination, and an act for being a constant on the boards. She should average near a double-double when things are said and done over the next eight months. She will be their beast in the middle, who is in charge of leading the way in several categories. If she stays locked in, it's going to be hard not to place her within the Top Five come next Update.     [player_tooltip player_id='1238790' first='Adrienne' last='Sears'] is coming into high school with a chance to start as a Freshman on Dowling Catholic. That is not something we say every often. Maybe once every few years. Even if she ends up not starting, I do see her getting minutes at the Varsity level on a consistent basis. This is a guard with better than average size at 5'10, a lot of promise, and a hungry to stand out whenever possible. She is coming off of a National Championship with her AIA EYBL team and she is looking to build onto the momentum before you know it.     There is a lot of question with [player_tooltip player_id='1201513' first='Ali' last='Aguirre'] but there is also a lot of promise while looking toward the next couple of years for Ankeny High School. Aguirre is a mismatch waiting to happen with her size and guard-like skill level. She isn't completely a Guard and she isn't complete a Forward, she sits right in-between but that leaves a lot of room for possibilities in the future. She should be used as a 3, 4, and even 5-type nightmare for opposing squads if their Guards take care of business per usual.
