Guys, I spoke earlier with Spring Hill (Tenn.) four-star quarterback Tylin Oden, who camped at and threw at Virginia Tech's camp July 26. Oden has been committed to Louisville since May. He said that is still the case, but he's opened up his recruitment a bit.

So far, Oden said the three who have reached out and communicated with him are VT, Oregon and Florida. He visited the Hokies first. That was also his first visit to Blacksburg. Oden said he enjoyed the visit and he liked the honesty of assistant coach Scot Loeffler. Oden said it was a bit different working with Loeffler because Loeffler wanted him to be faster with his feet. But Oden liked the camp and thought he did well. He wants to major in chemical engineering and likes the "makeup" and "landscape" of VT.

We had heard and southeast analyst Woody Wommack had posted here after the camp, that it was likely Oden would get an offer from the Hokies. But that offer hasn't come. VT is still trying to decide if it wants another QB, to go with three-star commit Josh Jackson. That said, no offer has come yet.

Oden visited Oregon just over two weeks ago and said he loved the pace of the offense, as well as the coaching staff. He liked the facilities and said he loved what they do with quarterbacks.

Oden had planned on camping at Florida the Friday before the Hokies' camp. But he cancelled that visit, as travel plans fell through. Still, the Gators remain in contention. But one big reason Oden is still with Louisville is that none of the other three schools mentioned have offered. Each are evaluating where they stand with quarterbacks and also waiting to see how Oden plays to start his senior season.

No visits are planned right now, though Oden said he wants to take all five. He said as of now, Louisville, VT, Oregon and Florida would be the three to get visits. But he's waiting to see if others get in the mix.
