Eric the Red Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Player: James McKinney Hometown: Louisville, KY Position: DT Height: 6’3” Weight: 275 40 time:4.9 Visit Date: 11/26/04 Scholarships offered: Louisville, Michigan, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Clemson, Kentucky, Ohio State, Oklahoma Favorites: Michigan, Nebraska, Clemson, Oklahoma Rankings/Stars: Rivals: #9/**** Insiders: #9**** Assessing the talent: Has been playing multiple positions on defense. He lines up at nose, then DE and rushes outside well, and a considerable time at linebacker. He loves contact. Can pursuit fairly well at 270 pounds. Is an all-state player at multiple sports. Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 35% It's down to four teams for him, including Michigan and OU. I get the feeling he is a Wolverine lean. The Huskers continue to make the cut for him. Sounds as though it's down to NU and MIch, with a Michigan lean. He will announce soon. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted November 6, 2004 Author Share Posted November 6, 2004 James has visits set up to Clemson (11/19/04) and Oklahoma (1/20/04) Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 McKinney enjoyed his visit. Enjoyed Harrison Beck, but will take a few more visits. This was his first official anywhere. He recognizes Nebraska at one of his top choices, but just too early to say where. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 I believe now the Huskers have a little bit better opportunity with McKinney than we think. I once soft Michigan commit might be loosing touch with the Wolverines. So far the Huskers have shown him the best time during his visit. Others were to Michigan and Clemson. The Huskers still have to content with hometown Louisville. McKinney is the number 1 DT on Nebraska's board. They want him more than just about any other recruit left. Quote Link to comment

Eric the Red Posted January 2, 2005 Author Share Posted January 2, 2005 He's going to Michigan. That's not final though. He has Michigan as his leader. You never know if a late coaches visit can sway him. Quote Link to comment

nebr_bob Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 just a gut feeling but look for J McKinney to announce next week that he is "N" Quote Link to comment
hoyamannn Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Heard a couple interesting things about this kid today via Rivals..... One, he hasn't had contact with NU since the Army game so he has dropped us. Two, he went to visit FLA, and said most of the trip was great except that the coaching staff there was bad-mouthing other programs and he didn't like that very much. I hope Urban Meyer never wins an SEC title. Quote Link to comment
