Guys, I hadn't been able to touch base with Mandarin (Fla.) three-star linebacker Aundre Ricardo-Kearney the past few days, but caught up to him a bit earlier. He's pretty set with the decision.
Ricardo-Kearney told me he's planning on graduating in December and enrolling early at VT. So that's a pretty good sign. He told me "Between now and December, if any the schools were to offer, I wouldn’t feel comfortable. It’s a rush and there wouldn’t be a relationship."
On March 19, Ricrado-Kearney and his family made their first trip to Blacksburg. It sounds like they absolutely fell in love with the area, so much that his parents have already talked about buying a house and moving to Virginia. Ricardo-Kearney's mom is a seamstress and his dad works for the US department of defense.
Assistant coach Charley Wiles was the main recruiter here and Ricrdo-Kearney said he loved how he stayed on him even when he was committed to Miami. He told me that Wiles visited his maximum three times and each time, he really liked what he heard. Ricardo-Kearney loved that Wiles text him, "I'm turnt,' when he committed and how Wiles told him he took his wife to a Keith Sweat concert recently. It sounds like the Hokies put a bit of pressure on him Thursday to decide, saying they were holding off other linebackers. And at 10:30 that night, Ricardo-Kearney said he made up his mind.
As mentioned previously, VT has recruited Ricardo-Kearney as a 'backer. He also plans on majoring in sports medicine. I like this kid. He plays tough and is a long, rangy type of kid that Bud Foster has typically used. I think he'll fit in well and with him enrolling early, that increases chances of him not having to redshirt.
Full story coming.
