University of Cincinnati head basketball coach Wes Miller added another blue-chip Bearcat Thursday when 6-foot-9, 220-pound four-star big man Tyler McKinley committed to the Bearcats Thursday evening.
McKinley was an early target of Miller's staff and has recently played for Link Academy in Branson, Missouri. He is currently the No. 1 recruit in Missouri at his position. Also on McKinley's list of suitors were Xavier, Ohio State, Tennessee, Alabama, Virginia Tech and Michigan State.
McKinley made his announcement via YouTube Thursday at 6:30 p.m.
"A lot of kids from Cincinnati might not get this opportunity," he told The Enquirer.
