Yet Another WPa Guard in the Recruiting Mix?

McNees looking at his options again By Kevin GormanTRIBUNE-REVIEWSunday, April 9, 2006 During Duquesne's tumultuous season and subsequent coaching search, Shenango senior Steve McNees remained committed to the Dukes. After meeting with new coach Ron Everhart on Friday, McNees asked for a release from his national letter of intent and scholarship with Duquesne. "We just weren't real comfortable with the situation," said Steve's father, Bill McNees, who retired last week as Shenango's coach last week after 25 seasons. "They still wanted Steve to come to Duquesne. We just thought our best thing for Steve was to get his release and look at other options. There will be a lot of interest in him, I'm sure." Bill McNees wasn't specific about what led to the change of heart or which schools are showing interest, but his son certainly has an impressive high school resume to fall back on. The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 28.4 points, 8.0 assists and 6.9 assists per game last season and finished with 2,192 career points. Akron and Can't State were among the schools showing interest in McNees prior to his signing with Duquesne. McNees is the Dukes' second WPIAL recruit to ask out of his scholarship, following Bishop Canevin swingman Antonio DiMaria. "It's not how you plan it, that's for sure," Bill McNees said. "You roll with the punches."
