The list of 2025 recruits that Kentucky basketball coach Mark Pope has spoken to continues to grow. Top 20 player Trey McKenney is a recent addition, and one that is very talented.
McKenney is a 6’4″, 225 lb combo guard who comes in as the 17th ranked player by 247sports. He’s rated five-stars and has offers from multiple SEC schools, as well as Kansas and Ohio State.
Kentucky’s coaching staff recently watched McKenney put up 27 points on 9-of-13 shooting. The star recruit knew that Alvin Brooks was coming and said that he did see him there.
McKenney spoke to Kentucky Sports Radio about the Wildcats and what he thinks of the program.
You never think (John) Calipari would leave Kentucky, but Kentucky itself, even before Calipari they were a powerhouse. Kentucky is one of the biggest schools in college basketball so having them talk to me is a blessing.
He hasn’t received an offer from Kentucky yet, but said it would mean a lot to get one. McKenney added that he isn’t taking visits until the fall, leaving Pope and his staff time to make an offer, if they decide to do so.
