Update
We're told that Bates will be on hand for McKinley's playoff game on Friday night.
Correction 12pm:
We've been made aware that Bates is scheduled to visit McKinley but it did not happen Monday as originally planned.
Original
Todd Bates visited the McKinley family in Louisiana on Monday evening. Bates has done a good job maintaining the relationship, more so than some other competing schools.
There's a sense that if McKinley does choose to decommit from A&M, the Sooners would be in the lead for his services.
My take is that a flip still falls in the "possible but unlikely" category but between Elijah Robinson leaving and Bates' visit there is momentum in OU's favor.
Oh momma...
