Just chatted with official visitor Jaden Watkins. He asked not to have a front-page story on Rivals (which is weird, because he certainly didn’t have anything scandalous to say) but was fine if I fill you all in
“It went well, I really enjoyed it,” the untangled prospect said of the trip. “The best part was probably getting to see the facility.”
While the Hokies’ coaching staff had high expectations for how his trip would go, there wasn’t much thought that a commitment would come this weekend. And lo, it has come to pass that he will stick to his established visit schedule and not accelerate things.
he has three more official visits over the course of the quiet period in June, and then will take stock of where his process stands.
“I have Duke, Wake Forest, and Vanderbilt,” he explained. “Those will be the next three weekends.”
With a Dead Period set to extend through July after that window, he’ll have time to sit back and think about whether he wants to narrow it down to one more school for that fifth visit, prepare for a commitment, or take a step back and see what else arrives in the Fall.
“I really don’t know yet,” he said. “I’ll have to see how I feel then.”
Virginia Tech believes the 6-3, 175-pounder is a diamond in the rough, having earned most of his scholarships in the past couple months. You could still fairly say that they have to see where they stand with other receivers before they begin to feel urgency at the wideout position.
For the time being, they’ve done a good job setting themselves up for a potential push with the Tar Heel State standout.
