Top 15 Recruit in Class of 2026 Plans to Visit Kansas Basketball

Kinney is a dream point guard. He has the ball on a string, is always under control, and never sped up. Although he is more than capable of scoring – and is a threat to get a bucket at all three levels – Kinney is most effective as a facilitator.

Whether it’s in transition, the pick-and-roll, or off his dribble penetration, Kinney constantly has his eyes up and is always seeking to set up his teammates. As a scorer, Kinney gets his points within the flow of the offense, never forcing. 

Thus far, Kinney has already taken visits to Purdue (January 20), Louisville (June 5), and Kentucky (June 24), while he’s scheduled official dates with Indiana (August 29), Oregon (September 6), and Texas (September 12). Although he plans to visit both Kansas and Arkansas, Kinney has yet to set a date for either of those trips. 

The Jayhawks are certainly facing an uphill battle for Kinney’s talents, but it’s encouraging to see that Kinney recognizes what Lawrence has to offer:

“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,” said Kinney to Tipton.
