Rodney Rice, the 6-foot-4 guard from DeMatha and Team Durant AAU, spoke to ZAGSBLOG about his recent visits with Alabama and Virginia Tech.
Alabama: “Alabama showed great hospitality. They emphasized that I’m one of the guys they want. I also have a great connection with the coaching staff and it just gives off a family vibe.”
Virginia Tech: ” It was a great visit because of the connection I have with the coaching staff. They also made me feel like a priority which I loved.”
Rice is scheduled to take an unofficial visit to Louisville from June 22-24.
