Three members of the 2025 recruiting class — Kingston Tosi, Jaron McKie and Jalen Reece — have received scholarship offers from the Dayton Flyers this week.
Tosi is a 6-foot-7 forward from Millennium High School in Goodyear, Ariz. That’s the alma mater of former Dayton forward DaRon Holmes II, who was selected by the Denver Nuggets with the No. 22 pick in the NBA Draft on Wednesday.
Dayton has already offered a scholarship to another Millennium player, Cameron Holmes, a 2026 recruit who’s the youngest of the three Holmes brothers. Cameron was the first member of the class of 2026 to receive a UD offer.
Tosi ranks 200th in the class of 2025, according to 247Sports.com. Utah State and Washington are among the other programs that have offered scholarships to Tosi in recent days.
Tosi had a standout performance at the Section 7 basketball showcase event in Phoenix last week. Dayton coach Anthony Grant attended that event.
McKie is a 6-2 guard from St. Joseph’s Prep in Philadelphia. He ranks 85th on ESPN’s list of the top 100 players in the 2025 class. He has offers from Temple, Saint Joseph’s, Penn, Saint Louis and others.
McKie is the son of Aaron McKie, a star at Temple from 1991-94 and the head coach at Temple from 2019-23.
Reece is a 5-10 point guard from Oak Ridge High School in Orlando, Fla. He also played at the Arizona recruiting event. Rivals.com ranks him 59th in the 2025 class. He has offers from Cincinnati, Florida Atlantic, Illinois and others.
Dayton will have at least five scholarships open after the 2024-25 season with Nate Santos, Posh Alexander, Zed Key, Enoch Cheeks and Brady Uhl entering their final seasons of eligibility this season.
