There was a time when he looked reasonably likely to be among the first commits in the class (and the Hokies were first to offer him):
The staff sort of moved along after landing the receiver commits they already have, so it's unlikely they'd have put in the effort to land him. Still, would it be a better look for them to have used some of the effort they've wasted in Alabama and Mississippi to at least make the top eight for a kid from a pipeline area (and at a very talented school), for perception's sake? I definitely think so.
The stream of offers in Texas hasn't slowed down, and somewhat surprisingly after the departure of Tyrone Nix they're still hanging around the Deep South a bit. We'll see if the strategy shifts to something a little more likely to pay off.
