Eden Horn is another story of too big and too strong for her competition level. Horn is 6’3, she is a heck of defender in the lane, and she always seems to be floating around to make a play on the ball if one of her teammates is slacking. Horn is up there with Evans as the Top BPG leaders in Iowa last season, which makes a lot of sense. She is more than just a taller hooper, she seems to really care about what’s going on around her whenever she is competing. I’m hoping this AAU season is going to help Horn with adding some more experience. If she can do that and take some bruises it’s only going to make her better during the Winter season.

Right now she stands at the tallest prospect out of the 2029 Class and she would be considered, “a block party waiting to happen.” Horn led the state the past six months in BPG because of her mixture of size and the competition level she is lacing up against. She is just too big for everyone that matches up against her team. She is good for 5-7 BPG, which is a staggering numbers, and she is a steady scoring and rebounding threat next to the basket as you might imagine. Just like everyone in this Class, it’s going to come down to Horn’s production over the years. If she puts in the work and her game follows along, this is a D1 prospect. Right now she is too raw in the skill side of things but you know how it goes, “you can’t teach height”, so the sky is the limit if she can get things to synchronize over the next few years.

Specifically 2029 Center – Eden Horn Eden Horn 6'3" | PF/C St. Edmond | 2029 State IA . Horn is working around the blocks, learning and soaking in all the knowledge she can from her current experiences as we work through the Winter. Right now is getting a ton of repetitions for a Freshman and that is only going to benefit her when she gets to being an upperclassmen. She does a decent job at controlling the lane as an enforcer but she is still working on her confidence as a whole. With that being said, she is still putting up 14 & 14 in the meantime. That is definitely something to note as we continue on.
