New Virginia Tech basketball offer: Elias King

Virginia Tech has offered Huntington (W.V.) Prep 2019 wing Elias King. Here's a quick look at the player.

Auburn, Florida State, Georgia Tech, VCU, Wake Forest

King has a few favorites early in the process: Auburn, Georgia, Florida State, and Louisville. It's probably no coincidence that those are three of the highest-profile programs to offer plus his hometown squad Louisville (though the Cardinals have yet to pull the trigger). He plans to spend much of the Summer taking unofficial visits in between AAU Tournaments, and should have the chance to stop by Blacksburg. Getting him on campus early is important, since it's possible Louisville could wrap him up by merely offering if other schools don't convince him to slow down first.
