For the second straight year, Oscar Smith (Chesapeake, VA) head coach Richard Morgan boasts one of the top recruits in the country. And for the second straight year it looks like the decision will come closer to Signing Day, with Virginia Tech being one of the top teams in contention.
"He's not really taking any official visits until after the season," Morgan said of 6-4, 250-pound defensive end Brian Whitmore , who is Techsideline.com's #8 overall recruit in the state. "He's going to the [Virginia Tech]/Miami game next month. He's pretty much looking at Tech and Miami, with North Carolina and Maryland still in there too. Florida and Tennessee and others like that have offered, but I think he feels more comfortable with those other schools right now."
