Surprised it took this long for the first decommitment after a coaching change. Bad timing for us that the first weekend after we fired Fuente that he would visit SCar to see them beat Auburn in a night game.

Luckily for us we are looking likely to keep Madison, Law, Pernell, and a few others who have come out and said they are solid with VT. I really like D'Andre Martin as a prospect, but we can probably mitigate this loss with a portal addition on the interior of the DL.

No worries here. Lower rated commit in our 22 class. Good luck to him with Shane.

Yea, this is the dumbest thing these guys say. Like announcing your departure at an airport.

You will see this game, this upset and this sign next on ESPN Sportscenter. Virginia Tech 31 Miami 7

His decision was made after a phone call with longtime Virginia Tech assistant coach Bud Foster. All Foster told him was, "We win. They don't."

Good luck to him. This looks like it was coming for a while.

His announcement shows just how "decided" he was. Ah...I was going somewhere but not now.

I might be reading this wrong but I don't think he decommited from the good guys.

if he did then it's clear he was never committed to the good guys.

Either way, next man up.

Looks like the link is broken. What did the tweet say?

Check out the comment above yours

He corrected from VTU to VT. I respect it

I wasn't sure if that one above was what had been deleted, since I hadn't seen the original. I see the other comment that he changed the tweet from VTU to VT, so assuming he deleted the tweet and changed it (can you edit tweets or do you have to delete, fix, then tweet again?)

jmecca's picture jmecca | 4 years 7 months # ^

You're correct. You can only delete tweets and not edit.

people complaining about a de-commitment after a coaching change is lame.

hope he decides to stay, but good luck to him

He was basically 50-50 before Fuente was let go. Pry & Co would have a lot of ground to make up just to get back to 50-50

His secondary recruiter at South Carolina (on 247) is listed as JC Price.

I don't know what's happening with him, but I have no problem with him exploring his options with the coaching change, though I'd like to see him give the new coaches a chance.

All the student athletes (and the new coaching staff) should be looking for the best results for themselves and their organization.

JC was out recruiting literally last night. He's not going anywhere. It also shows Ryan Smith as his primary recruiter which is obviously not correct.

Price is staying on the staff. It was the first announcement made.

Seems that he might be headed to USCe

This will be a big loss, the guy is better than his rating, he has SEC size that we need.

Go for it

Agreed...BUT.....but.... We've opened a schollie to a flip or transfer.

I'm betting my money on a flip.
