I spoke earlier with Armwood (Fla.) three-star athlete Darrian McNeal, one of Virginia Tech's newest offers. McNeal said he's now up to 19 offers, others recently from Georgia Tech, Syracuse and Tulane.

VT has recruited McNeal as an athlete, but it sounds like the emphasis is wide receiver. McNeal also plays defensive back, but said he wants the ball in his hands.

With the Hokies, McNeal said he always played with Michael Vick on his video games. Assistant coach Holmon Wiggins is the main recruiter here. McNeal said they've talked just once, last week when he got the offer, but that Wiggins told him they could get the ball in his hands. And right now, VT is the only visit McNeal said he has planned, in two weeks for spring practice. He plans to spend the whole weekend in Blacksburg, which at this point is a big sign.

McNeal has not taken any visits elsewhere to this point. So for VT to be one of the first, is another big deal. McNeal said he doesn't have any standouts and the on;y others he mentioned when I asked who he liked was Georgia Tech and Iowa State. He was at the Orlando stop of the Rivals Camp Series presented by Under Armour last weekend and was named one of the camp'stop performers.
