Five-star senior Trey McKenney is down to three finalists

Orchard Lake (Mich.) St. Mary’s senior guard Trey McKenney told Stockrisers.com that he is down to three finalists.

“I’m down to USC, Georgetown, and Michigan,” he said.

The 6-foot-4, 225-pound guard is one of the most elite guard prospects in the nation and is picking things up in his recruitment. 

McKenney is looking to capitalize on a vast junior campaign with St. Mary’s, where he averaged 22.5 points and nearly 11.0 rebounds. He helped lead them to a 27-1 record and a state championship, where he finished with a 32-point double-double in that very game.

This success carried into the summer on the EYBL circuit (He Averaged 17.5 points on 40/40/93) and also with the FIBA, where he won a gold medal with Team USA.

Now, he can handle business on the recruiting front, and he discussed his finalists with Stockrisers.com.

Down to a final three?

“Yes, Michigan, USC, and Georgetown.”

What are your thoughts on Michigan, Coach May, and his new culture there?

“Oh, I feel like he’s building a pretty good program, and his players are buying in, and it’s the hometown school, so that’s a good feeling.”

USC, Coach Muss, I feel like he has been on you for a long time; thoughts on them and him?

“His connection with the NBA is something to look at, and his staff have all been involved.”

And Georgetown, has Cooley revamped things over there? Why are they on your final list?

“I was starting to take a turn at Georgetown. He had a pretty good class this year, and I’m excited to see what they do this year.”

Have you thought about a decision timeline? 

“It’ll be around December.”

Done with visits?

“Yes, I’m done.”

What are you looking for in a program?

“A coach that is gonna let me play through mistakes, develop me on and off the court, and help me reach my dreams which ultimately is the NBA.”

And how would you describe your game?

“A competitor who scores on all three levels and brings intensity on the defensive end.”
