CINCINNATI — Thursday is a big one for UC basketball as one of its top 2024 targets makes a school decision at 6:30 p.m. ET on the 247Sports Youtube Channel.

Four-star forward Tyler McKinley out of Link Academy (Missouri) is putting a hat on and picking his college home at that time. McKinley would be the first commit of the 2024 class for Cincinnati.

Alabama, Michigan State, Ohio State, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, and Xavier are all involved. Mckinley averaged 17.2 points and 7.4 rebounds per game during the 2021-22 season at Walnut Hills in Cincinnati before transferring to Link.

I have no insider information here, but it seems like he's likely to announce for UC ... ?

[London 'Cat]

If he plans to commit to UC, everyone has done an excellent job from keeping it out of public. This would be a terrific start to the 2024 recruiting class.

Current rankings:
#56 per 247
#63 per On3
#70 per ESPN
#80 per Rivals

His 247 Composite rating is currently 0.9741, which is just below Jizzle James (0.9765) and just above Rayvon Griffith (0.9726) -- who are the #5 and #7 highest ranked UC commits in the rankings era spanning over the last 20 or so years.

Tyler is a legit Top 50/75 Recruit... and if Tyler continues to progress, he could easily be a Top 25 Recruit next season.

I can almost assure you those numbers will go down if he's a bearcat commit. But it doesn't matter.

Maybe not. We’re in the Big 12 now.

this has to be a good sign that he is going to UC!

[Oldtimer_UC_fan]

These rankings mean very little once you get past the top 10 or so. How can anyone possibly distinguish between the 56 or 63 ranked player, especially when they play different positions?

So, their last update was June 5, 3 days ago. I think we all know what happened here.

[Oldtimer_UC_fan]

Of course if he went to Duke, he'd be top 25. lol
