Guys, I just got off the phone with Clay (Ala.) three-star athlete Ty Pigrome, who was offered by VT today. He was named the Gatorade Player of the Year in Alabama. I've already been asked why Pigrome is only three stars and much of that is because of his size and the system he plays in. He's been labeled as a product of the spread system, though he's obviously mastered it, with over 4,000 yards passing this season. Pigrome is also only 5'10" or 5'11" which is a little short for quarterback. But he's a dynamic athlete.
The Hokies have offered as an athlete. But with them already being set at quarterback, it's likely that Pigrome would be a receiver at VT. He was offered by both assistant coach Holmon Wiggins and coach Justin Fuente. They'd recruited him and offered him at Memphis, but had to make sure they wanted to offer him at VT.
Pigrome said Wiggins has visited him a couple of times in the past month, while he's only spoken to Fuente by phone since meeting him at camp during the summer. Pigrome told me, "Me and coach Wiggins have always had a good relationship." The biggest thing is that Pigrome wants to play in another spread offense.
He has two dozen offers, and all but Indiana and Missouri have offered him on offense. Those two have offered as a defensive back, so he's not really considering them. The four on top right now are VT, Purdue, Tulane and New Mexico. Right now, Pigrome plans on visiting Tulane Jan. 15, VT Jan. 22 and Purdue Jan. 29. He doesn't say a whole lot, but I get the sense he's very intrigued by VT. Don't be surprised, if that visit goes well enough, that he might not take that final visit. He hasn't ruled out a fifth visit, to New Mexico.
