BUCKEYES OFFER VIRGINIA RISER
When Liberty Christian Academy (Va.) offensive tackle Zach Rice tweeted out on Wednesday that he had officially received an offer from Ohio State, there were three eyebrow-raising reactions that the three-star sophomore prospect received.

The first, and frankly less important, reaction came from Ohio State fans, who instantly flooded his Twitter page and boosted his number of followers by at least 200 people – a lot of that stemming from a subtle message from fellow Virginia star TreVeyon Henderson.

“(Ohio State) fans are really supportive,” Rice told Eleven Warriors. “It was crazy how my Twitter blew up. Sheesh, I think it was 200-300 (new followers), I think. It was crazy. TreVeyon Henderson put the little smirk emoji after I got the offer, and I said, ‘I wanna block for the best,’ and good Lord, they were going crazy.”

Lynchburg is about 100 miles from Blacksburg, for Va Tech to not even make top 8 is a bad sign for them. Seems like UVa is tipping the scales as premier team in Virginia. While Charlottesville is a bit closer it’s surprising still based on football history

I’m close to filing this one under “maybe not a personality fit at Ohio State”.
Yeah I wondered that too but I don’t follow him closely enough to cite any specifics. Just seems like maybe he thinks he’s as big or bigger than the program he chooses? Again, that’s just the vibe I get and I hope I’m wrong. Also I realize it would be really hard to not let the process inflate your identity.

Announcing that you could “commit at any time” is a bit out there.

Also, this:

One of UNC's board insiders posted an emoji hinting at a Rice commitment for them. Same guy did it back with Tony Grimes. Another one said he reached out to some people in the know and feel confident that Rice will commit to UNC very soon.
