Tom Izzo, Juwan Howard among the head coaches who've been in to see Trey McKenney this season
Basketball season is in full effect. Typically, the recruiting process for high school recruits begins to slow a bit during this time. This is because of the hectic schedule from both parties (players and coaches) — multiple games a week, leading to it being more difficult to find time during the midst of the season.
However, several head coaches in college basketball make it their mission to visit their top recruits. This helps further build a relationship, continues the scouting process, and shows the player that they are a priority for that school.
I’ve decided to do a mini series in which I ask several of the nation’s top 2025 prospects which head coaches have been in to see them this season. This includes coming to their respective high school to visit in between classes, for games, and practices.
First up is four-star Trey McKenney, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard out of St. Mary’s in Flint, Michigan. McKenney is ranked as the No. 13 overall recruit in the 2025 class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.

Scouting Report
“Trey McKenney is a strong-framed guard. He has a sturdily-built base and a plus wingspan. McKenney had great feel for the game. He is an adept, multi-level scorer. He has range that extends beyond the arc, he shoots with consistency and good balance. What he lacks in burst, he makes up for with pace. Has a solid straight-line handle. He is a solid passer and can get his teams into sets. While he might not be the optimal height as an off-guard, McKenney is a tough and sound defender. He uses his strength and his toughness well when guarding the point of attack. He is instinctive in the passing lanes. McKenney is a productive player on both ends of the court, consistently making plays.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
