Vick Rumors Flying

There were many rumors flying around this week that Newport News (Va.) Warwick quarterback Marcus Vick had made his decision. So is it true?
"No," said the 6-foot, 185-pound quarterback. "That's not true. I'm not going to decide until late January."

Vick still has official visits with Tennessee, Virginia and Virginia Tech before he makes up his mind. Right now there's one team to beat.
"Miami is my leader," he said. "That visit was awesome. I don't think I'll have a better visit than that, but I still need to consider which place is the best for me."
Another rumor was that Vick measured 5-foot-10 in stocking feet down in Miami.
"I hope not," he laughed. "I was measured at 5-foot-11 1/2. If I was 5-foot-10, I'd be in trouble."
Vick has been visited by Virginia, Virginia Tech and Tennesse this week. He says the possible defection of Tech offensive coordinator Ricky Bustle will have nothing to do with his decision. He's also not affected by Bryson Spinner transferring from Virginia.
"I had little contact with Bustle and the UVA quarterback position still isn't wide open," he said. "They still have Marques Hagans."
Vick is still considering all four of his favorites.
