On Vance Vice: "My relationship with him is very good. I got to spend some time with him when I visited and I really enjoy his style of coaching. On Virginia Tech: "Their facilities are really nice. Their academics are really good. I also want to play for championships which I can do at VT."The fact that Wright considers Virginia Tech a program that can "play for championships" reflects well not only on the job that Frank Beamer did building VT into an ACC powerhouse, but also what Justin Fuente has done getting the Hokies back to the ACC Championship in his first season. Meanwhile, Vance Vice is building a strong relationship with Wright already and in a time where relationships with recruits are more valuable than other, this is great news for VT while Wright knows that Vice has some job security with VT extending many assistants' contracts through the 2018 season including Vice. While Wright's recruitment is definitely wide open, Virginia Tech has emerged as a top contender early on along with Tennessee and Ohio State while West Virginia still has their home state advantage even if they aren't the closest school for Wright. This fall should bring some clarity to his recruitment with Wright hoping to take visits to VT, Ohio State, West Virginia, Tennessee, Florida, Louisville, and Alabama. At this point, Virginia Tech is one of the top contenders for talented four-star OT Darnell Wright with Vance Vice already laying the foundation for VT to being a serious contender. While the Hokies will face a tough challenge going against WVU on their turf along with Ohio State and Tennessee, the Hokies are a serious threat that can't be discounted.
