The Wolverines’ fan base is already buzzing with excitement, as McKenney’s pledge signals that Michigan is back in the mix among elite programs when it comes to landing top-tier talent. His presence could also spark further recruiting momentum, with other top prospects potentially following his lead.
McKenney spoke on his commitment, saying, “It’s always been a dream of mine to play for Michigan. I believe in Coach May’s vision and I want to help bring a championship back to my state. This is bigger than basketball—it’s about legacy.”
