Kinney, the 6-foot-2 rising senior from Overtime Elite (GA), will consider the Canes, Indiana, Texas, Purdue, Kansas, Auburn, Louisville, Texas, Xavier, Arkansas, Oeogan, Kentucky, and Tennessee as he narrows down his future destination.
The talented guard is rated a top 15 player in the country and the No. 3 guard in many rankings metrics. Needless to say, he is one of the most talented players in the nation, and the Hurricanes would be back on a massive recruiting track if they were able to land the talented guard.
He has already taken three official visits: Kentucky, Purdue, and Louisville. Others are scheduled and the Hurricanes are preapred to make an offer of a lifetime.
The key now for the Hurricanes is to have a bounce-back season after one of the worst campaigns in program history. In his first year, Jai Lucas has some high expectations, but they are something that he can live up to in the next few years.
