In Wednesday, the first day of Division 1 Men's Basketball's Early Signing Period, Virginia Tech announced the signing of Hargrave Military Academy forward Montrezl Harrell and Rustburg (VA) forward Marshall Wood. TSL basketball recruiting expert Rev. Zeke Vodka took some time to answer five questions, discussing the talents of these two prospects, what fans can expect out of them next season, and whether or not Virginia Tech is completely finished in the 2012 class.
Harrell, listed on Tech's official site at 6'8" but closer to 6'7" according to Zeke, is the higher rated of the two prospects. ESPN.com, Rivals.com and Scout.com rank the Tarboro (N.C.) native as a 4-star prospect. All three include him in the top 100 prospects in the nation with Scout ranking him the highest at no. 68 overall. Harrell averaged 16 points, 12 rebounds, and over six blocks per game while playing for North Edgecombe H.S. in 2010/2011.
