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.

- Hears mostly from UCLA, OSU, Xavier, Virginia Tech, and UC
- No visits set but would like to visit all of them
- Has best relationships so far with OSU, Xavier and UC

on3 evaluation: Tyler McKinley is a strong-framed power forward. He is not afraid to mix it up and has an understanding of what his game is. At 6-foot-9, McKinley has soft hands and is an active rebounder. While he is a below-the-rim defender, he understands angles and has good footwork and a motor. McKinley finishes well around the basket and knocks down his free throws. He plays with a lot of energy and does not shy away from contact. There is a throwback nature to his game, and while he is still developing the range on his jump shot, there are a lot of tools to carry into the highest level of the college game.

Wes Miller has good connections at Link. Jarrett Hensley came through there and I think there were several guys on UNCGs roster from there as well.
