Although Virginia Tech wasn't the first to offer Smiley, the Hokies should be a major player here. He comes from a pipeline area in the Tidewater, and was a high school teammate of incoming freshman Devon Hunter this past Fall. There are plenty of connections there. While Smiley hasn't mentioned a specific plan to visit Blacksburg, he certainly will at some point this Summer, and that should be the first step toward keeping the Hokies in this one for the long haul.
