Nice. Originally started as a walk on at Miami. Also hope he keeps his long hair. We need some long hair guys on our Defense

I guess CTA's twitter will soon end all speculation on the phrase in question.

Any idea how that would compare to a freshman ranking?

FWIW, 247 has him as the 9th rated ILB.

I don't know if the following is at all a valid comparison, but this link is to Scout's '17 ILB rankings.  McGinnis is a 3-star and Scout has 13 4 and 5 stars on the site and then a whole host of 3-stars.

The first link is all about McGinnis and his decision to attend IU.  The second link includes background on McGinnis but it's also an interesting piece on life in the JUCO ranks in general.

Juco life is tough. Glad we got McGinnis. He sounds battle tested in life and after living with juco facilities, IU's will be a welcome addition. Hopefully he makes a quick transition to B1G level play.

How many more defensive commits are we looking to take? We are now at 11 of 17.
