U-D signs Warriors’ Kennedy “I saw him play on a hunch and was really im- pressed with his ability.” — U-D coach Don Sicko BY JIM KNIGHT Tribune Sports Editor The fall semester begins at the University of Detroit in September and basketball practice starts in mid-October, but for Dan Kennedy, work starts today. Kennedy, a senior at North Huron, signed his letter-of-intent to play basketball for the Titans Thursday and his training begins immediate- ly “I’m going to be starting tomor- row,” he said Sunday of his own training program. “It will be a lot of running and lifting. Kennedy is following a bit of fami- ly tradition by playing at U-D. Both his father and mother graduated from the university, his father, Angus, in 1951 and his mother, Catherine, in ’50. The elder Kennedy played football and basketball. Kennedy said his parents did not pressure him to attend the Universi- ty of Detroit — they didn't have to, the school sold itself. It’s not too far from here but it is far enough. I used to live down there and they have a really good schedule,” Kennedy said.’’ I met (Titan coach Don) Sicko and he was super nice. “He (Sicko) laid it on the line and said my freshman year would be a learning year, he said. “I met a lot of the players and they seemed pret- ty tight.” Detroit was the only Division I school to offer the 6-7 Kennedy a full scholarship. Kennedy, who finished his senior season with a 16.6 points per game average, was also looking at Saginaw Valley State College. Northwood Institute also expressed interest in him. It came right down to U-D and Saginaw Valley,” he said “I eliminated Northwood quite a while ago. I visited Saginaw Valley and then coach Sicko came to visit me Saturday and the following Thursday I went there. It (U-D) im- pressed me.” Kennedy said he will play six weeks of summer ball with the rest of the University of Detroit’s freshmen group, which includes two- time UPI Class A all-stater John McIntyre. McIntyre, a senior at Redford Catholic Central, averaged 29.8 points a game this year. Sicko is hoping signing Kennedy from North Huron, a Class D school. is a steal. He is obviously a sleeper because of the level of play and the distance away (from Detroit),” Sicko said. I saw him play on a hunch and was really impressed with his ability. His body is really put together well and he has a lot of potential, he continued. He has good all-around skills and what he does best is see the floor and pass the ball.” Kennedy led North Huron to a 21-4 record and the Class D regional finals. He scored 19.4 points a game in the postseason. He also averaged 14 rebounds, three assists and three blocks a game. Sicko is planning on using Ken- nedy as a forward and his height makes him the second tallest Titan. The Titans finished the year at 16-12. their first winning season in four years. Kennedy said four seniors will graduate after next season, giving him an opening in his sophomore year.
