McKenney does currently have official visits scheduled with seven of the 10 schools. Ohio State is set to get a visit on October 26th, right before the start of the 2024-25 regular season.
The star guard told Tipton that he is in no rush to make a decision and probably wouldn't do so until the winter.
"I'm trying to knock all the visits out. I don't really know exactly when yet, but it'll definately be some time during the high school season," stated McKenney.
During his junior season with the Division 1 state championship winning St. Mary's Prep Eaglets, McKenney averaged a staggering 22.9 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. In the state championship game victory 63-52 over North Farmington, McKenney led the way with 32 points and 10 rebounds. He was an efficient eight of 11 from the field and made all 14 free throw attempts.

McKenney was named the 2023-24 Boys Basketball Gatorade Player of the Year and was also named the Michigan MaxPreps High School Basketball Player of the Year.
It will be a competitive race for McKenney, but one that the Buckeyes will like being a part of due to his talent. Although it may be a slower process for McKenney, that does give the Buckeyes a chance for a strong visit later in the fall.
