Of course, the main reason I haven't spoken to him in a while is that he has been to other schools more than Virginia Tech lately, so it would be a mild upset if he opts to become a Hokie.
It certainly indicates (as another piece of evidence, along with written offers given to Tahj Gary and Jamious Griffin) that the staff is not only willing to bring in a second tailback in the class, but actively trying to make sure they have another.
