He put up 16 points and 12 rebounds against Providence Day and 17 points and 15 rebounds on 7-of-8 shooting from the field against JL Chambers High. He's a sleeper in the 2025 class in North Carolina well on his way to making noise on the recruiting trail with the Spartans off to a 5-2 start to the 2024-25 season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1280878"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6743f9f7ca166"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McKoy is off to a hot start for Harrells Christian Academy and showing why he's a high-major target in 2026 class while doing so. He's producing 26.3 points, 14.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.8 steals per game for the Crusaders who are currently 4-0. He's a relentless presence both attacking the paint and rebounding the ball, especially offensively. Along with shooting 59 percent from the field on the year, so far, 20 of his 58 total rebounds are of the offensive variety. He's a versatile presence in the state of North Carolina due to draw a lot of attention very soon on the NCISAA stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1352799"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6743f9f7ca1d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jones is one of a few new faces to get to know in the Christ School rotation.

His assists production has only gone up as he's gotten accustomed to his new teammates as he distributed seven assists against Carmel Christian and has distributed four or more assists in three of four games so far.
