Jimmy McKinney Stays Home for SLU | Marquette Golden Eagles Basketball News

Saint Louis University just pulled off a major recruiting win with Jimmy McKinney, the third-ranked player in the 2027 class, choosing to stay home and play for the Billikens. A combo guard from Vashon High — where his dad also played — McKinney brings elite scoring ability, a sharp pull-up jumper, and growing playmaking instincts. The coaching staff loves his versatility, expecting him to score, run the offense, and defend with relentless energy. Already a two-time Missouri State champ with strong summer stats, he’s the first 2027 commit for SLU and a hometown hero ready to inspire local kids. He’s all in — for the city, the team, and the chance to make his mark right where he grew up. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
