RE McKinley, from aggy mods

This kind of reminds me of the Jordan Ross commitment.  Everyone said Tennessee, then a few days before there was a source saying Texas. My guess is this is the same play book of trying to create some uncertainty, when everyone knows where he is going.

HORNS 247, ON MCKINLEY

"Talking to sources over the weekend, feelings have remained favorable towards UT ahead of Friday, if not gaining more momentum in Texas’ direction." Hank South

" .. a source north of the Red River told Horns247 the Sooners staff has started to wane on their chances with the five-star, with the same source believing McKinley will be selecting the burnt orange when it comes time to make a decision on Friday." (Jordan Scruggs, I think.)

(Potentially interesting tell.) "For what it’s worth, as of right now I’m planning to make the drive out to Louisiana on Friday to see McKinley and his Acadiana squad take on Texas commit Melvin Hills and his Lafayette Christian Academy team. I have a couple of backup games in place in case we get word that the pick won’t be the Longhorns, but as of now I’m planning to spend more than a few hours on I-10 on Friday." (Jordan Scruggs, I think.)

 

BUCKEYES 247, ON MCKINLEY AND BAKER

"When it comes to NIL Texas has plenty of backing and they likely have the ability to make things happen with both McKinley and offensive lineman Brandon Baker, two huge targets of both the Buckeyes and Longhorns. But there is still the feeling on the Ohio State side that the Buckeyes could win at least one of these two battles." Bill Kurelic.

 

Steve Wiltfong (247) just said when you add up all the intel on Dominick McKinley, as of now most signs point to Texas.

He did talk about Ohio State, Oklahoma and Texas A&M being in it.

IT guys keep saying that being within reasonable driving distance is a factor and McKinley really wants to experience something different and leave the state, so lsu is running 3rd. That would leave us and agsy as the only realistic options.

No call out to Baker?  

While all of these guys are important, the two most important ones in my book are Baker and McKinley.  Heading into the SEC next year, Texas top quality lineman to compete day in and day out.  Having Wingo, Black, Hudson and Bussey is great, get those other two is a must.

Some OU mod Parker Thune says Texas isn’t the pick for McKinley. Any truth to this??

We'll find out for sure on Friday. I will say, the things that keep popping up are distance and academics. He wants to be a computer engineer. Texas has the advantage in both of those. You do the math.

IT reporting DE Zina Umeozulu of Allen will be at the Rice game.

https://247sports.com/player/zina-umeozulu-46114446/

Zina needs to get this over with and commit. What is he waiting for? I keep hearing that the family wants to see how much his brother plays. What does that have to do with it? Two different players progressing at their own pace and competing for playing time. Maybe there's something I'm missing, but otherwise pull the trigger and save your spot. If Texas does as well as I feel they will, they'll be other options knocking on the door.

Wtf, now apparently Roach is saying aggy for McKinley.  If he chooses aggy.....then shit

 

aggy is closer to home by an hour, and could be the deciding factor. Would hope that education and coaching would be more important for his long-term future.

This is starting to smell like the Denver Harris recruitment 2 cycle ago. It was all UT- bama all summer then the gags swoop in late to snag him. Hope thats not the case here
