RIVALS' REACTION...

It seemed like Tennessee had the momentum earlier in the process but West Virginia's persistence could be paying off. The Mountaineers already hold a commitment from Heard's teammate, four-star Josiah Trotter, and they're hoping Heard jumps onboard. Kentucky is right there near the top as well but they do have some ground to make up. Virginia is in a similar position and they need to get Heard on campus before they can be considered a legitimate landing spot for him.
