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. Her energy, ability to play big minutes, and composure played a huge factor in Solon’s win.

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. 

Tenley Levin Tenley Levin 6'0" | CG Solon | 2029 State IA debuts as the #1 rated player out of the 2029 Class in Iowa. Levin comes to us from Solon High School and she competes as a CG/SF at this time. Levin’s natural position is a CG with her mix of length and guard like ability but she is one of the taller player on her high school team so she gets the nod to attack from the Forward position a good amount of the time right now. Over the years that will need to change though as Levin is not a Forward at a D1 level but she is a CG or SG. She already possesses ample skill as an offensive threat, while being someone that can lock down her matchups on defense. Not to mention, she currently has a nifty go-to spin move once she gets into the teeth of the defense off the drive. If she can build on that, along with her other abilities, she should continue to be the #1 ranked player out of this Class moving forward. She is one of the only individuals receiving interest from numerous D1 programs at this time and I don’t expect that to slow down anytime soon.

It has been a long time coming but Tenley Levin Tenley Levin 6'0" | CG Solon | 2029 State IA finally received her first Division-1 offer. This offer comes from the University of Missouri, which makes sense. This is one of the closest schools to Levin’s Missouri Phenom EYBL program so I’m sure they have had a chance to see her compete multiple times over the past couple of years. This is one of those situations where I expect Levin to hold 20-30 D1 offers by the time she commits throughout her high school journey. Her mixture of size, skill, and knowledge of the game is extremely impressive and it’s only going to grow with experience over-time.
