Duquesne Offers Sophomore 4-Star Guard

Whether it’s football or basketball, recruiting top talent is the only way to turn a program around. After putting together a solid class for 2017, Jim Ferry and his staff are looking to the future.

While in St. Louis for an Atlantic-10 game tonight, the Dukes staff have offered a highly rated local prospect.

Duquesne basketball on Pittsburgh Sports Now is sponsored by The Summit Academy: setting young men on the path to a better future.

Last night, Ferry extended an offer to Vashon H.S. (St. Louis, Missouri) sophomore guard Mario McKinney. It’s not often that Duquesne extends an offer to a sophomore player.

247 Sports and Rivals both rate McKinney as a 4-star recruit and list him as a Top 100 recruit in the Class of 2019.

McKinney holds early offers from Missouri, Saint Louis, Auburn, Kansas State and DePaul.
