Harrisonburg’s (VA) Landon Turner followed through and visited Virginia Tech last Saturday. According to the talented big man’s stepfather, Christopher Womack, the visit went well. The 6-6, 300-pound rising senior, who last was in Blacksburg for the Spring Game, learned more about Virginia Tech on the academic front than he had in previous visits.

“We had a really nice visit,” Womack wrote via email. “We had a great visit with one of the Associate Deans from the Business School and Landon got to find out a lot about the business school. That’s actually a really big priority with him. We also got to see a lot of the campus that we hadn’t seen before. A lot of times the visits get a bit repetitive but this was a really nice trip for everyone! Landon remains very high on Tech.”

Turner continues to consider other offers, but North Carolina and Virginia Tech have been tied atop Turner’s list for several months now. According to Womack, nothing has changed but there is a new school to watch out for.

“That’s still accurate,” Womack wrote. “Keep an eye on Florida. They are really turning it up and he’s getting a lot more interested in that possibility.”
