Tay Kinney, one of the top point guards in the 2026 class, will be taking an official visit to Kansas this weekend, source told Rivals.

The 6-foot-2 rising senior out of Overtime Elite (GA) recently included the Jayhawks in his top eight schools, along with Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, Oregon, and Texas.

In a previous interview with Rivals, Kinney discussed KU.

Kansas: “Bill Self, he’s a great coach. He’s got a National Championship. I really wanna see what they do with DP (Darryn Peterson) this year. But I think he will do good. I think it’s a good program.”

A standout at the NBPA Top-100 Camp

Earlier this summer, Tay Kinney was one of the best players at the NBPA Top-100 Camp, earning him First-Team honors. At the prestigous event, Kinney averaged 22 points, five rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game, while shooting 52% from the field and nearly 48% from three. On3’s Jamie Shaw wrote the following about Kinney:

Tay Kinney brought the fire all weekend and he provided some impressive highlights throughout his four games. The two key factors for Kinney’s game, for me, were his handle and his shooting range.

The 6-foot-2 guard has a slippery handle. He was able to consistently get into the paint and collapse a defense. He showed an array of counter dribbles and step back footwork to find open space to get clean looks. And the shooting was consistent. Throughout the week, Kinney knocked down shots off the catch and off movement. He was both efficient and confident. He will need to continue getting stronger, which should help him become more of a presence on defense, and take better care of possessions, but his talent was undeniable in flashes at the NBPA Top 100 Camp.
