Guys, I spoke just a little while ago with River Rouge (Mich.) 2019 three-star cornerback Daraun McKinney. Last we heard was when our buddy Josh Helmholdt spoke with him back in October, shortly after UC offered. Indiana offered around the same time and Northern Illinois came later in the fall.
McKinney said he still has not been to UC, but said "It's definitely one I'm looking into." Assistant coach Willie Martinez was the primary recruiter until he left for UCF. McKinney said he's heard from coach Luke Fickell himself since then and hears from the support staff almost daily. So it's tough for McKinney to get a good vibe again until he gets to UC and/or Paul Haynes gets in with him. But Haynes is also evaluating to make sure he wants him. But the Bearcats are for sure trying to get McKinney down for a junior day, to get he and Haynes together.
Indiana is also in a decent spot and should get a junior day visit soon. But the one junior day McKinney has set is Jan. 15 to Eastern Michigan. So he's keeping an open mind, with schools like in the MAC.
No other visits set right now, but expect him to get to Cincy over the next month or so. Full story coming.
