FORT WAYNE, Ind. — 2014 big man Kevon Looney turned in the most outstanding performance of the opening night of the 2013 Spiece Run ‘n Slam in Fort Wayne on Friday.
Looney, who had the attention of nearly everyone in the gym, scored a game-high 28 points, leading his Milwaukee Rebels squad to a 92-86 win.
After the game, mobbed by members of the media, Looney talked about the schools toward the top of his list including Michigan, Duke, Michigan State, Wisconsin and Florida, and discussed his recent in-home visit with Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski.
“It was a great experience. I learned a lot from Coach K,” Looney said. “He seemed like he was very interested in me. It was a great home visit.”
Looney, who also had recent in-home visits with Florida and Wisconsin talked about his growing relationship with Michigan’s coaches as well.
“They wanted to come in for a home visit, but we already had scheduled all the days,” he said. “So I talked to (John) Beilein a couple times and Coach LaVall (Jordan), I talked to him a lot. We have a pretty good relationship.”
Looney projects to the four at the next level and is a perfect fit for that position at Michigan with his face-up game, jump shot and ability to create. The buzz around the gym was that Looney was cementing himself as a top-10 prospect in the class and he did little to disappoint. Michigan has gotten its foot in the door but still has work to do in Looney’s recruitment.
