Buckzip Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 According to Rasor, and a link to his source, McNees has verbaled to Akron.Does anyone else know if this is true?Also, does this mean no Jeter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Speaking from ignorance, I was a little more excited about Jeter. He seemed to get more hype from the Pittsburgh papers. Also, he's an inch taller and considered a shooting guard, whereas McNees is a point (we've already got a 1st team all-Ohio D-1 point guard coming-Darryl Roberts from Toledo.) However, by looking @ Rivals, it appears McNees was much more heavily recruited: offered by George Washington & Rhode Island among many others.

Captain Kangaroo Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Per the Pittsburgh Tribune:Ex-Duquesne recruit chooses Akron By Kevin GormanTRIBUNE-REVIEWWednesday, April 26, 2006Steve McNees spent the weekend playing for the Cleveland Titans AAU basketball club at the Pittsburgh JamFest. The Shenango star will have to get used to an Ohio address now that he's headed there for college.McNees signed Tuesday with Akron after he was released from his national letter of intent and scholarship to Duquesne earlier this month.The 6-foot-2 point guard chose the Zips over Eastern Kentucky, George Washington and Rhode Island. He also had offers from James Madison, Can't State, Robert Morris, Wright State and Youngstown State."We had a lot of offers, and Steve had a good opportunity to go play," said Bill McNees, Steve's father and former coach at Shenango. "After sorting them all out, this is the program and staff Steve felt most comfortable with."McNees averaged 28.4 points, 8.0 assists and 6.9 rebounds per game this past season, after which he was named to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Terrific 10 and All-WPIAL Class AA first team. A four-year starter, he finished his career tied for 15th in WPIAL history with 2,192 points and with school records for points, assists (824) and steals (233).McNees made an official visit to Akron last fall before signing with Duquesne and then-coach Danny Nee. McNees asked for his release two weeks ago after meeting with new Dukes coach Ron Everhart."It's a school we've always been interested in and was interested in us," Bill McNees said of Akron. "It's a school we always thought very highly of. It's an excellent program. We liked the coaching staff, and it's a great atmosphere. We felt it was an excellent situation for Steve."

Captain Kangaroo Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 He looks like Nick Dials....... He looks more like Jayson "White Chocolate" Williams. Did Dials gat a giant tatoo that I'm unaware of? I see no resemblance between him and Dials.Click Me to See McNees as a Fab 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gozips19 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 from foxsports--The Zips pulled off a coup with the signing of Steve McNees to a national letter of intent. McNees averaged 28.4 points and 8.0 apg for Shenango (Pa.) High School and was named one of the top 10 players by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
