Scout.com: Class of 2013 - Haney Jr. and Tucker Jr

Re: Class of 2013 - Haney Jr. and Tucker Jr
no, he's a blood cousin.....kid is mixed, dad is former Lansing Everett All State and DI player Steve Haney. Sr (white guy), and his Mom is Magic's first cousin.....Jr's Grandpa and Magic's Mom are brother and sister...if you could follow that...by the way Haney Sr and Magic I think are the only 2 former Vikings to ever average over 25ppg in a season so blood lines are deep.
point about 'respect' is that his pops has been around and isnt jumping on the hype band wagon....they will take a look because when the head asst coach at UK invites you to Lexington at 12 or 13, you dont say "no thanks"....kid is a 3.5 student, yes sir, no sir type......
Ill keep everyone posted on their visit....His uncle told me that Gillespie is making a point to be there

Re: Class of 2013 - Haney Jr. and Tucker Jr
I heard some rumors about Haney Jr. and Tucker Jr going to play at Lansing Everett together and Haney Sr going back to his old HS to coach when Johnny Jones leaves. But now word is Haney got hired by Fleming to be an assistant coach at ELHS, so there goes that. Haney and Tucker have always been close so it is crazy their two kids are where they are at. Im telling you, I have seen the kid play, if he keeps growing and developing there is no way he MSU will let him out of here, he is that dominant....the only game I saw he went 15-15 from the line in the 7th grade and had 33 in the first half against okemos.....I also know that Monty and Izzo know about him....they wouldnt let UK or anyone pull him out their own backyard.

Also his dad seems like a great person to run a kids recruitment. So I don't think MSU has to worry about Galespies snake oil.

Right...my bad...that's what I meant, that it wasn't through Dad.
I looked into what Haney Sr. has been doing...boy, you really couldn't ask for a better background to lead his son through the process. Ran some of Magic's business interests for awhile, and had involvement in his basketball team in Sweden (where, IIRC, former MSU recruit and temporary Florida Gator Christian Dreijer played). He's also an attorney.
