Laynee Hogan Laynee Hogan 5'9" | PG East Buchanan | 2025 State IA and her Iowa Prep team has been on a roll as of late. Their team has been winning and Hogan has been a leader by example through and through. She has been running the PG position to a T, she has been knocking down shots and scoring whenever the opportunities present themselves, and she is sweating the small details and that can make up for some big results at the end of a ball game. In her first few contests of the weekend, Hogan was the leading scorer on her team, while also doing a little bit of everything across the board as a player. This group started their weekend on a win streak and they are looking to close it out like that as well. If everyone shows up and they keep playing how they have been, it’s more than possible.

My biggest question for Laynee Hogan Laynee Hogan 5'9" | PG East Buchanan | 2025 State IA coming into this event was her efficiency. She has always been a prospect that has a higher skill level than most her age but sometimes she would shrink when she had other good players around her on the same floor. Not this weekend though. This weekend she proved to me that she can be someone that can lead her team from the PG position, while making great choices with the ball in her hands. She is a willing passer when she creates off the dribble and she is always looking for ways to beat the personal matchup that is defending her in the open court. Hogan has the ability to be a college level Point Guard. If she can continues to do her thing, stay efficient, limit turnovers, and score when the opportunity present itself, she is going to get a chance to play at some collegiate level. I’m not sure which level yet but she displayed this weekend that she has both the ability and mental game to make the difference in a tough contest against other skilled prospects. As long as she gets an opportunity, she is going to kill it.

I’ve watched Laynee Hogan Laynee Hogan 5'9" | PG East Buchanan | 2025 State IA the past few years and she will be competing in this event with her Iowa Prep 2025 team once again this weekend. Hogan can be a game changer. She impacts play on both sides of the floor with her smooth passing and knowledge of situational basketball more times than not. This weekend it’s all about her efficiency. I need to see that she can perform the same way the entire weekend. If she can do that, I think there are going to be a handful of coaches there that would be willing to talk to her about her collegiate future. Her raw skill and talent level are there to compete at the next level, it all comes down to being consistent with things overall. Something that I know is more than possible for someone with the talent level Hogan possesses.

I have had the chance to watch Laynee Hogan Laynee Hogan 5'9" | PG East Buchanan | 2025 State IA compete closely this past AAU season and she could definitely help a college team at the next level if put in the right situation. Hogan has always been interesting to me ever since she was a Freshman. She is a natural point guard, this is pretty good when it comes to making plays with the ball in her hands but in this case, we are talking about how active she is on defense. Throughout travel season, you don’t see a lot of great defense but in Hogan’s case, she was tipping passing and grabbing steals at a high rate all summer long and if she wasn’t, she was the first on the floor, diving for a loose ball on most occasions. As for this high school season, Hogan is averaging 5.8 SPG while leading her team in several other categories. These are some nice numbers but I imagine this is only the start. Hogan still has a few more years to go at the high school level. If she can continue to expand her game and become more consistent, everyone else better watch-out.

Laynee Hogan Laynee Hogan 5'9" | PG East Buchanan | 2025 State IA is an individual that is underrated in several aspects of the game. When you first see her play, you can tell that she is skilled offensively with the ball in her hands at the point position. A majority of the time that is because she is very good at picking her spots as to when she should shoot the ball as a jumper, compared to taking her defender off of the dribble. This season has started off a little different than some might have expected for Hogan though. Other than taking care of her usually offensive duties, she is creating and distributing at a high rate. Higher than normal. A part of this is due to her off-season work. Hogan played up for her AAU program at the 17U level on their top team and held her own on most occasions. The experience and knowledge she learned from playing with these better players, definitely helped her become more productive on the high school floor. Looking toward the future, Hogan does have a college level skill-set, she just needs to figure out what she wants to do. There are a handle of schools in Iowa that I’m sure would be interested but again, it’ll all come down to what she wants out of her college experience, more-so then anything else.
