Grew up a Hokie fan. If Va Tech doesn't offer, Rutgers figures to be next in line. He won't make a decision until he has taken all five official visits. Academics will play a big role in his decision.

If academics is a big factor, RU is at a disadvantage to BC and UVA, if only slightly. However, the lure of Greg Schiano, and a program that is on the rise combined with the ability to play 15 minutes away (assuming he lives in Somerville) and recieve a top-notch education must really put RU as a serious contender.
From the Pitt rivals site, Riddick claims offers from Rutgers, Boston College, Virginia, Pitt, Penn State, Northwestern and Notre Dame; his list is growing quite quickly. Mentions that all the schools are recruiting him as a RB, aside from Rutgers, who has him targeted as a DB.
A rumor has surfaced that Theo will be committing to Notre Dame soon. Don't know how credible the source is, but if he commits in the next few days, don't be surprised.
