Each and every time Phenom Hoops gets to report or see a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player. Here is the latest commitment.
Player: Antonio McKoy
Class: 2026
Committed to: Western Carolina
What Has Been Said by Phenom Hoops:
“McKoy is another intriguing prospect here in North Carolina. Located out towards the coast, it can be hard for many to truly get an eye on him, but he certainly proved last year that he is a leader, a workhorse, and one that will do what is needed to help his team. McKoy is a strong, downhill, athletic prospect that can score well when attacking. He has great size, embraces being physical, and fills up the statsheet for his team every time he touches the floor. And again, there are areas he can continue to improve, which makes him even more dangerous as a prospect. I expect him to have another eye-opening season and really showcase his leadership, as he will have Harrells in the hunt once again.”
“6’5 2026 Antonio McKoy (Harrells Christian) impacts the game on both ends. Really gets after it defensively & that leads to scoring opportunities on the other end. Has also showcased his ability to knock down shots from 3. One of the top freshmen in the state.”
“Very few can rival the athletic abilities of 2025 Dashaun Mckoy and 2026 Antonio McKoy (Carolina Rockets), long and super active on the ball, relentless in running the floor and crashing the glass, have the skills and motor to match their potential.”
“Easy to see the appeal with 6’5 ’26 Antonio McKoy (Carolina Rockets). Bouncy, fluid athlete. Possesses great length and two-way instincts. Displays nice activity on the glass. Applies constant pressure at the rim. Still has a lot of upside remaining.”
“Explosive shot-making wing with size, athleticism, and the ability to constantly fly around to make plays on both ends of the floor. Knows how to create for himself and others while actively highlighting his scoring prowess in various ways. Excels in transition and knows how to get to the basket with relative ease, but can also hit jumpers off the catch and bounce. Utilizes his motor and physical tools to make life difficult for opponents. Expect him to have another incredibly productive season.”
