The Miami basketball program, along with coach Jai Lucas, has offered a scholarship to Taylen Kinney, who is currently ranked as the top point guard in the 2026 class and holds a five-star rating.
Kinney announced the offer on Instagram, stating, "Blessed to receive an offer from @caneshoops." According to his post, it appears that Coach Jai Lucas was the one who extended the offer.
He is among the top rising seniors in the nation and transferred to Overtime Elite last season after an impressive performance in Newport, KY. During his time at OTE, he averaged 20.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game in the 2024-25 season with RWE.
Kinney has already taken official visits to Louisville and Purdue, and he plans to return to Kentucky before visiting Oregon.
According to the 247Sports rankings, the 6-foot-3, 185-pound point guard is a five-star prospect, ranked No. 11 overall in the 2026 class, No. 1 at his position, and No. 1 among players from Georgia.
Will the Miami Hurricanes be able to compete for one of the best point guards in the class?
