Guys, I've got another update on Dutchtown (La.) three-star cornerback Coney Durr, who officially visited VT this weekend. Again, he's been committed to Minnesota since Dec. 13, after an official visit there.

I spoke to Durr extremely briefly earlier today, like a minute, as he was boarding a plane home. He told me he would call back when he landed. I haven't heard from him, but that's because Durr has been busy tonight.

First off, I had heard from a source that Kansas State, whom he chose Minnesota over, was trying to get back in the picture. I don't think that has changed much from when Durr told me two weeks ago he was down to Minnesota, VT and North Carolina.

The big update here tonight is that late this afternoon, I'm told UNC's coaches gave him an ultimatum: they wanted to know if he was in there or out by tonight. This came from our friend Matt Hatfield, who covers UNC recruiting for our Rivals site there, TarHeelIllustrated.com. Hatfield confirmed about an hour ago that the Tar heels are now out of the running. We're not sure if that means Durr told them he's not going there, if he doesn't like the ultimatum or what.

That said, it appears it's down to VT and Minnesota. And after his visit this weekend, which the Hokies' staff feels went very well, the odds have big time trended up for VT here. Another guy who will decide on signing day, so it will be worth keeping an eye on.
