McKinley might be my favorite local recruit since I started following UC basketball in the late 90s. He is the definition of "total package" on and off the court.

From my understanding, Tyler likes UC and the program is in a good position with him at the moment. Wes and his staff should do whatever it takes to land him.

Alex Meacham is releasing a podcast today of an interview with Tyler McKinley, according to Alex's twitter. In an an ordinary NCAA world, this would probably strike me as not a good idea. At this point I have no idea if it's a problem or not.

I like our odds of landing him now that we've received commitment from his friend, Rayvon!

Yep, it seems Wes and crew are working the Fickell hometown angle with all they have. Nice to see. Stay home big fellow.

FWIW, Tyler's HS coach at Walnut has taken a new coaching gig at Indian Hill

So, we have been out bidded.

UC is putting the full court press on this kid. That doesn't stop OSU from offering him a scholarship. OSU was also in on Rayvon Griffith...

Cincinnati: "Wes Miller and his whole coaching staff talks to my brother and I every week. I am from the city so I feel if I wear the city on my chest while in college, it would mean a lot to me. My visit was great. It felt like home because I was at home."

Louisville: "At first it was Chris Mack but now it is some of the new assistant coaches. I went down there with some of my family. The previous staff treated me well. The school also felt like I was at home."

Ohio State: "I am from the state. I am a native who is always watching Buckeyes basketball and football. I just grew up watching the Buckeyes. It was a dream come true exploring the campus. Ryan Pedon was recruiting me but it is probably going to be somebody else now since he moved schools."

It is nice to see someone who will put the ball in the hoop without dribbling first.
