@MattClareRivals: Corona (Calif.) Centennial '16 #Rivals100 WR Javon McKinley (@mcjavon) picked up a new offer from Tennessee tonight. #Vols @Volquest_Paul

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

I wonder if the coaches stopped by his school while they were in the area. Was offered today not sure if that was coincidence or not.

Posted this in the football talk thread, but Greg Biggins said he could end up a top 50 player in the class.

What was the decision date that's alluded to in the title of the article?

Other than Notre Dame, the Corona (Calif.) Centennial four-star receiver said he will for sure take an official visit to Oregon and he's also considering Tennessee and Ohio State.

Per Hubbs

Speaking of fall visits, four-star wide receiver Javon McKinley has set up an official visit with Tennessee for the Georgia game weekend. He's someone that has talked about visiting for a while and having a visit finally set up is a good sign.

Realistically, it's a long shot, but McKinley has always talked about wanting to see Tennessee so the Vols still have a chance assuming he makes it in.

McKinley had a strong regular season and then took his game up another notch during the playoffs. He totaled 44 catches for 860 yards and nine touchdowns in four playoff games and finished the season with 97 catches for 2,062 yards and 25 touchdowns.
The athlete battled a few various injuries during the spring and summer but had a solid showing at The Opening Finals and his 4.61-40 and 4.01 shuttle times showed an improved athleticism that not everyone knew he had.
On the recruiting side, McKinley is starting to narrow his list down and has locked in a few of his official visits, although some are still tentative
Washington, who was recruiting McKinley harder than anyone early in the spring but didn’t make his summer top five is now back on his list. Their hard work is paying off and the Huskies will get McKinley’s first visit on (Sept. 26).
Up next will be a pair of October visits to Tennessee and Notre Dame. The visit to Vols is still tentative but will likely be (Oct. 10). Mike Sanford at Notre Dame has made a big impression on McKinley and he’ll be in South Bend on (Oct. 17).

2,000 yards @ 20 ypc is no joke especially at that level of competition. Kid is a beast.

"it was nice," mckinley's mother estrilla said. "the game was definitely a big highlight. That was an intense game."

they rolled out the orange carpet if you want to keep the theme," mckinley said. They did all the bells and whistles and we went to coach jones’s house for lunch today. Toured the facilities and dorms and met with the academic advisers. Saw what they had and what they’re offering."

"javon hung out with recruits and players and had a good time," estrilla said. "that was a good visit. It was good to see what was out there outside the pac 12."

Callahan (247) on our chances and WR recruitment:

I'll have to defer to Steve (Wiltfong) on what he's heard from McKinley and his family, but the impression I've gotten from others close to his recruitment is that McKinley at least had some genuine interest in Tennessee going into the visit. That said, it was his first trip to UT, and geography obviously is working against the Vols, so I definitely wouldn't say they're the team to beat or anything like that.

McKinley is one of a number of receivers Tennessee probably would be happy to add. Again, though, he might be a tough pull for the Vols because of the geography. Tennessee still has a number of receivers on the board, too, so it's not as if he's the only WR who's a realistic option for the Vols. It will be interesting to see how all of that plays out, with UT probably looking to add only one more receiver in this class.
