Golden comes from a program that has top 2024 prospects Chanz Wiggins and Mekhai White as well, and continuing to cast a wide net at a school that produces this volume of talent (especially in an area that's not exactly densely-populated) is smart. He's off to a good start to his freshman season, and Pittsburgh already followed on the Hokies' heels in offering. Getting him to campus soon (perhaps as a tag-along with Wiggins, who plans to be in Blacksburg for the Miami game) can help VT build a tough-to-beat early lead.
