I posted something about this guy a while ago because he goes to my High School. That doesn't sound so special until you consider that my 2001 graduating class was all of 25 people. Went out and saw him play over thanksgiving and he is monstrous - but wayyyyy to skinny to post up with physical guys. I do believe that VT has offered him.

"How you doin', Randy?"

Unfortunately unless he is absolutely in love with Virginia Tech, there is no way I see this kid coming to Tech. He is going to be pursued by every major program in the country. Even if he wasn't as talented as he is, he still probably would have garnered Top 25 programs offers just based on his height and wing span. As of right now, ESPN does not show him with an offer from VT, although he does have one from UVA.

247 already has him on the interest list for most of the top programs:

Surprised he is not their Number 1 kid of the 2016 class, will be looking to see who they have in front of him.

Rivals does list him as having an offer from Tech:

He is all over the Duke fan forum message boards as their top target for 2016. If that's really the case, then Tech has a tough road to recruiting this kid.
