Guys, the drama continues for Lafayette (Va.) three-star LB Chase Pine. And tonight, I got a bit of an update from our friend Chris Peak at PantherLair.com, who got an update from him.
As a refresher, Pine has been on the VT radar since last year, especially as fall got going. But an offer didn't come until late, much later than he expected and he and his family seem to be upset with the timeliness and the intensity of the recruitment by the Hokies.
Obviously, that's ratcheted up in the last two months with Justin Fuente at VT, but still, this has had a ton of drama. I knew Pine was on the radar and reached out to him a couple of weeks ago. Despite telling Pitt's coaches, where he's been committed, that he was done with visits and solid, he told me that he was visiting VT and Maryland the last two weekends. Pitt's coaches met and talked with him again and were told by Pine that he was solid. Then he planned to visit VT last weekend. That got cancelled due to snow and Pitt had an in-home with him last week, in which he again told them he was solid. But late last week, he had set a VT visit, despite telling Peak Thursday night he wasn't.
Pine indeed did visit VT officially this weekend then told Pine this earlier: "I told the coaches I compared the two and that Pitt was the better fit by far."
Peak then asked Pine if was going to sign with Pitt, to which Pine replied, "For sure I always was. I couldn't leave our guys."
Another one that's not over and Pine may change his mind three times before now and Wednesday. However, for now, he's back to saying that he's solid with Pittsburgh.
