Chicago-born, two-way guard who brings veteran steadying force to UIC
Kennedy is a tough, experienced **Chicago guard** whose value goes beyond points: at Loyola he was a reliable rotation piece over four seasons, and at UIC he has shown he can score in bunches while fitting into a winning backcourt. He brings **defensive activity**, steadiness, and local-program familiarity, with a reputation for making the simple play and competing hard every possession. In the 2023-24 season, he averaged **7.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists** for UIC, which suggests a solid connective piece rather than a high-usage star.[2][5]
