More than a month after leading Seventy-First (Fayetteville, N.C.) to a state championship victory, cornerback recruit James Hopper made an official visit to the school where he will spend the next four or five years of his life. The 5-10, 180-pound prospect made an official visit to Virginia Tech last weekend and enjoyed a preview of things to come.
"Everything went fine," Hopper said of the official visit experience. "The coaches treated me right. The players treated me right. I basically knew everything about Virginia Tech before, but I wanted to see it for myself. I wanted to see the dorm rooms and get to know the coaches better. It was everything I expected."
