From his inner circle immediate family, and friends, to his outer circle social media, other recruits, and coaches telling him he could do better then VT. I think he truly liked or even loved VT but he has some emmense pressure and influence around him guiding his direction. Also think he grew frustrated of recruiting for VT and getting no results. All of the silents not going public. He was definitely frustrated. Pair that with people in his ear and he was not as solid as we all had hoped or thought. Plus Auburn will surround him with better talent. That's what they are telling him anyways. That and the conference and schedule is superior to the ACC.
