Whoa! Junior commit! Thought I saw another guy with Fisher, Kelly, and Mosley tonight.

Fleer is high on him https://x.com/ZachFleer270/status/1855439595657216383?s=19

Cautiously optimistic. In the world of NCAA athletics, two years is a long time to wait. This dude is the real deal and he's going to have some big schools come after him before his signing day.

Reynoldsburg plays at Flyin to the Hoop on Sunday during MLK Jr. Weekend. Excited to see both commits. Love some of our recruiting of very athletic and skilled wings and perimeters players. Just need to snag a big or two...maybe that is becoming most likely in today's world via the portal.

I'll do my best to give a report back!

They play an always well-coached Centerville team in a day of great match- ups in one of the coolest weekends of bball in the midwest.

Over the years, I've seen a number of kids we've offered and signed as well as a ton of MAC signees. With the national programs and top programs that attend, have also seen some "big time" players. It's such a neat event.

We need to keep the big boys away. I have a feeling they will get on him more this summer. So much to like here.

So hard to find stuff on this guy because he shares the same name as the all world football safety, but from what I have seen, this kid looks to be the closest thing to the Mychal Green type that JSF covets. Also seeing a little CJ Massinburg in there.

Xavier was "probably our best player at both ends all year," according to coach Andrew Moore after the junior hit the game winner Saturday v. Lakota West.

Xavier's dad is William McKinney, who won several state championships as head coach of the girls team at Columbus Africentric High School.

I would guess he looked at four guard/wing players brought in and didn't want to sit/something better might have been presented to him. Seems Jeff is in a win or go year, so can't blame anyone for making this decision.

It might not be a coincidence he announced his agency representation yesterday.
