'16 CA WR Javon McKinley (Notre Dame Signed NLI)

[pkt77242]

#1 to Javon, batting #4 or worse to his Momma. No ND for this guy.

Maybe. None of his top 3 are close to home. Now if he ends up loving UCLA after his Official visit there, than that is different.

Paging NDCrusader.

 

[PANDFAN]

Anyone have an actual confirmed opinion of ND from his mom? Any quotes or anything?

Everything we’ve heard indicates that McKinley’s mother likes Notre Dame--247

 

[PANDFAN]

per wiltfong----McKinley's mother told me it will be BK and Sanford(VISITING). She keeps in regular touch with Sanford. I believe ND is in the driver's seat but when it comes time to decide

Thanks Panda. Keep them coming

but she also wants him close to home so she can see him play. I've seen some footage of her in some of his highlight videos and some tweets, she's very like Sheldon Day's momma if you know what i mean, very engaged in his football career.

"It was awesome," McKinley's mother Estrilla McKinley also told 247Sports. "Had a great time. We cooked them dinner."

"They are just really cool and down to earth," the elder McKinley said. "They answered all our questions and made us feel comfortable if Javon decided to fill the next four years there."

btw Javon's GPA is 4.17. This is not the Davaris Daniels you probably aren't looking for.

 

[Irish#1]

Things look promising.

I just have a bad gut feeling based off of nothing that we will lose out b/c of distance. Another instance where ND being too far from Cali or Florida costs us in the end.

Hope I'm wrong.

there were rumours that UCLA might shake up their staff on the offensive side of the ball, I'd guess Javon and his mom might wait til things have settled down there before deciding.

was it this one?
Jim Mora's "Bruin Revolution" Is Over At UCLA - Bruins Nation
author seems to think mora might save his skin by firing his offensive staff

You see all of this....? This is not at ND. You know what is?


j/k

 

[dublinirish]

Momma is a Tax Manager for BDO and has her masters degree. She knows the importance of education and Poppa was in the Marines. Good family by all accounts

 

[NDdomer2]

man dont even wanna think what kind of tail he brings in with back yard help like that

 

[Luckylucci]

FINISH THE THOUGHT

The concern is distance from home. Close knit family and though as of today it sounds like ND is the choice, there is concern that the closer it gets to become a reality, some cold feet might set in.

 

[Rizzophil]

He's been concerned about distance since summer. I don't know why it would stop now

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

This young man seems to have an awesome family and support system. His mom seems like a nice lady who understands the importance of a quality education, is supportive of her sons football aspirations and seems to truly like our coaching staff. I think we really have a great shot here. He would be an awesome addition. He also seems like a fine person himself.

 

[Big23Head]

Anna said the same thing in her comments about McKinley's visit. Will he leave the west or not. ND, UCLA, Washington and Oregon all involved.

Looks like the backdrop to a 90s rap song.

To be fair, Washington and Oregon are still a plane ride away and only play in LA once a year vs. once every other. If he goes to either of those schools they gain 2 "close" games in his career and all ND adds is $5000 in additional airfare from John Wayne to South Bend over 4 years and 18 hrs of additional travel time a season if they attend half of the home games. From the looks of their pad, they can afford to wisely invest that amount of money and time into his post football life.

UCLA is obviously a different animal and they need some McKinleys immediately. I will throw this out there, word is Rosen isn't the most liked player by his LA contemporaries. A lot of big time WR's have come through LA in '15 & '16 and that hasn't done much for UCLA's roster up till now.

Hopefully JMc hit it off with MZ, DK and BW.

Wouldn't surprise me, I still remember hearing about these sort of board rumors when Stanford refused to offer because of character concerns. When you add it all up, probably something to it. On top of that it sounds like Bruin Nation is getting tired of Mora.

If weather was really important, My guess is Seattle and Eugene wouldn't be his other two leaders(?) He's also gonna love the frigid Jun-Sep workout conditions in South Bend. No more 105-115 degree scrimmages for months on end like he's used to.

Plus, 2/3 of the NFL have South Bend weather, not IE weather. Remind him of that $tat. lol
