“I’m going to look to take some [visits] after Geico before EYBL starts. I’m talking with Tennessee, Michigan State, Xavier, Ohio State, and West Virginia. I already visited Cincinnati.”

...
“I think I’ll probably drop a top group sometime this summer and then go from there."

He came here first!

That does not sound promising.

It isn't discouraging. The official visit trips are paid by the school, so why not take visits. Hopefully, he comes back to Cincinnati for another unofficial visit after making the rounds.

And…. He was in the house tonight for the game against Detroit Mercy

Probably because one of his official visits was to UC.

Yeah I was going to mention he's taken an official to UC and an unofficial as well. Not much left to see at this point especially since he's a local kid.

Two points from the article: He mentioned wanting to visit five schools. UC wasn't among them (TN, XU, tO$U, MI St, WV). McKinley did not specify whether these would be official or unofficial. He'll cut down his list after the Peach Jam at the end of July.

Well here's the update you were all looking for. Not much has changed to be honest

I have not seen McKinley post much to social. Looks like he's concentrating on the season at Link Academy.

Any updates here ?

Everything seems pretty quiet. I hope we’re still in good shape here.

247 checks in with McKinley after his recent UC official visit https://247sports.com/Article/Tyler-...ate-197249182/

"It was a great time to be home," McKinley said. "I had not been home since I left for Link. It was a different vibe. It did not feel like a visit. We were chilling and having a good time. The whole staff recruits me every day and it felt good to be back in my city."

Also interested in taking officials to OSU, Michigan State and Tennessee

Offered by Michigan State

on3 predictor currently shows UC as a strong favorite to land McKinley -- though I bet their algorithm just factored in that he took a junior year official to UC https://www.on3.com/db/tyler-mckinley-150973/

Chad Brendel recently said on a BCJ podcast (I think Monday's BBP) something to the effect of he thinks it would ultimately come down to UC and Xavier (OSU has been involved but probably less of a factor)

It's nice that Tyler is attending school in Missouri now and came in for a weekend and visited UC and, to my knowledge, not Xavier.
