Tyler McKinley 2024 OH PF 6'8 commit

[GoBearcats31]

Tyler is #84 in the new Rivals 2024 rankings, a 4-spot slide (of course). He is the 10th rated PF in the class.

Tyler is rated higher by the other major recruiting sites/services, each of which will update at some point as well.

Looking like he missed the cut down to 14. One cut down to 12 remaining for the U19 team

Adam Finkelstein: "Fresh of his commitment to Cincinnati, Tyler McKinley also looked good here. The structure of this setting is ideal for him, and also indicative of how well his game should translate to the next level, because of how well he operates in offensive structure. Specifically, his passing ability really stood out as he moved the ball from the high post and made some high-level finds with his back to the basket."

I still think that this season will be a learning experience for the team. Next year should be a breakout season. This is great news. Welcome to the family Mr. McKinley.

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.

Posted this exactly one year ago (as of tomorrow).

Glad Wes and staff could seal the deal.

Very excited to see TM in red and black.

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.

Ugh, Wes needs to find a way to share great things when he knows.

sarcasm. Good for the kid to get his moment to shine and be the one who ends the speculation. Welcome to Clifton, now bring your friends Jase and Flory

The Movement is already taking a backseat to The Future!?!
