Entering his official visit this weekend,
the four-star Michigan commit out of Canada (Vieux-Montreal, to be precise) seemed bound for Ann Arbor, with not very much chance of ending up a Hokie. The trip to Blacksburg for the nation's No. 215 overall player and No. 21 cornerback seemed like one more chance to get out and see the world before enrolling at U-M in January.
Based on
conversations with the St-Juste and information gleaned from sources prior to the trip, the chance was low of a flip. The Hokies were
hopeful, but didn't have much expectation of getting a true chance at him.
Coming out of the trip, though, the intel has changed. VT believes it has improved its position handily. St-Juste - normally very forthcoming with me, since I was one of the first to see him in-person - has been very coy about the trip in the past day-plus. He's not even saying much about how much he enjoyed himself.
"I will be dropping a video this week announcing my decision," is really all he has to say.
He'd been planning to sign his scholarship papers to Michigan this Thursday, so that's a good time to expect the video to come out. Virginia Tech was unaware that a final decision was coming this soon, a decent sign that it won't be for the Hokies. I'm still expecting the "choice" to be Michigan (air quotes because if he ends up a Wolverine, it probably wasn't much of a choice after all), but VT made this a bit closer than I ever though they could.
