One of the best abilities that Tenley Levin brings to the floor is her athletic ability. She has height already. When you lock in her athletic ability along side of that, you get a prospect who could really put it together over the next few seasons before taking her talents to the D1 level. Obviously Levin is the #1 rated 2029 in the state of Iowa right now but like all others in her Class, her progression within the game will be the key to holding onto that spot. Within the WaMaC-East last season Tenley led with over 25 Blocks on the defensive end of the floor. That’s a nice number and fact but as she gets older, I expect this number to continue to rise each and every season. She will return this season for the Spartans and she will be WAY more comfortable than she was a year ago as a Freshman. Now that she knows what to expect – she can account and prepare for that leading up to things, which is going to help her thrive in almost every aspect of the game as she continues to get older.

One of Tenley Levin’s best abilities is that she can score the rock at a higher rate than most her age level. You can attribute that to her mixture of height, athletic ability, and situational awareness on the floor. Last season as a Freshman Levin took the state by storm grabbing the #1 ranking in the 2029 Class. She demonstrated throughout the year that she is a three level scoring threat, who can also defend the oppositions best player at a steady pace but I’m hoping this Winter we can see even more out of Levin. She has a lot of those intangibles that college coaches love to see. She just needs to keep working during the off-seasons to build up her confidence. She should know that most nights when she takes the court to compete, she IS the best player on the floor and she should act like it.

Tenley was a force in the paint throughout the weekend. She controlled the glass, finished around the basket and was difficult to keep away from the rim. Her weekend was highlighted by an impressive 21-point performance that showcased just how impactful she can be.

Recent Offer(s): D1 – South Dakota (SD), D1- Mississippi State (MS)

One of the biggest winners this last month of action throughout the state of Iowa is Tenley Levin of Solon High School as she pulled in two D1 offers within 48 hours over the last few weeks. Levin, the #1 rated 2029 in Iowa, has had D1 interest for years now so it’s only right that schools are starting to pull the trigger by throwing her an official offer. This last week South Dakota and Mississippi State are the two that made offers to Levin moving into Nike EYBL Nationals next weekend in Chicago. These offers were strategic by both parties. I would assume they both wanted get their offers in prior, so when more schools offers to follow July, they can say they were one of the first one’s that believed in her and saw the future potential. I’m not sure that’s going to be enough to keep Levin but it’s not a bad strategy. Putting interest into a prospect early in their career can work for some programs so now it’s all about how the steps to follow play out.

Tenley Levin holds onto the #1 spot moving into this Summer because of her mixture of size, skill, and smarts. Levin, the 6’0 CG, made her mark as a Freshman last season within the 4A Class throughout the state making big plays each evening she laced up her kicks. She was someone that her team could run their offensive through while also being an elite defender near the bucket against other lengthy opponents. Levin has followed up that season by putting together a nice Spring with her Missouri Phenom EYBL team. If she can keep this up over her career and she can continue to grow within her game, she should hold onto this #1 spot from start to finish for the 2029 Class but we will have to see how that plays out over-time. Until then, I’m sure she is worried about the task at hand at this moment in time and that task is to keep balling and to keep being impactful whenever she competes.

T. Levin is averaging a double-double in points-rebounds during EYBL play this Spring for her Missouri Phenom 15U EYBL program. Levin is doing this because of her combination of skill, natural size at 6’0, and her smart mindset whenever she goes out to compete. Offensively, she is a three level scoring threat and defensively she holds her own at a steady rate. She can move to defend multiple positions if need be, demonstrating her versatility each time and she rebounds just as well. All in all, Levin is going to have an avalanche of Division-1 offers coming in over the next year or so. She is going to bring attention to any court she is playing on and I expect that to be the case this weekend in Las Vegas as well.

Coming in at #1 in this Update for the 2029 Class is Tenley Levin Tenley Levin 6'0" | CG Solon | 2029 State IA of Solon High School and Missouri Phenom EYBL. Levin, the 6’0 CG, holds down this spot because of her versatility on the hardwood. She moves like a guard at 6’0 and within her Class level in Iowa, that’s been really impressive to watch this last four months but just like anyone in this article, Levin needs to keep stacking on her ability. She needs to demonstrate that she can do her moves going both directions and she needs to show that she can lead her program to a State appearance this next few years. That is something that I personally think will happen a few times but we will just have to wait and see how it all plays out but for now she is going to be locked in on having a rememberable Spring ahead.

Tenley Levin Tenley Levin 6'0" | CG Solon | 2029 State IA recorded another double-double last night against CPU High School. Levin is currently close to averaging a double-double on the season in points-rebounds (18.5-8.7) but in this battle she finished with 24 points (5/14), 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. That’s a pretty efficient stat line if you couldn’t tell. One of the most important parts about this performance to me was the fact that she went 13/13 from the charity stripe. If you want to play late in games when it matters, you need to make free throws at a consistent rate and Levin did that in this outing. So far she has put together an impressive season as we move into February. She just needs to keep stacking the days and she will be a on D1 floor before you know it.

When Solon struggled in the first half last night, Tenley Levin Tenley Levin 6'0" | CG Solon | 2029 State IA was a reliable presence to convert tough shots at the rim. She’s long, athletic, and super quick — her back cuts and cuts to post led to lots of lay-ins and trips to the foul line against the Red Wolves’ defense. Levin converted at the basket at a high level (going 6/11 inside the arc) and was a menace on the boards, especially late game — she made sure to secure much-needed possessions for her team after missed shots. When Solon was surging, Levin hit a huge and-1 three pointer late to complete the comeback and help push the game to OT.

It’s hard not to mention Tenley Levin Tenley Levin 6'0" | CG Solon | 2029 State IA every week with the type of Freshman campaign she is currently putting together. I do have my questions about Levin’s play-style when it has to do with competing at the next level one day but that makes sense as she is VERY young in her career. There is still a lot of time and there will still be a lot of growth before we get to that point. There is no doubt that Levin will continue to be a name we speak about over the next 3.5 years. She is too good with too much length and skill for her age group so I can’t wait to see what she will turn into at the end of the day. For now, she will continue to kill it as she works on helping her team on a State run this upcoming Playoff season.
