Tech's loss is Vandy's gain

Tech has lost its only quarterback commitment and most coveted offensive player in the 2011 class. Lafonte Thourogood, a 6-3, 225-pound prospect from Ocean Lakes High in Virginia Beach, has de-committed from Tech and will sign with Vanderbilt. He committed in early December to Tech, but apparently was wooed to Vanderbilt by new Commodores assistant coach Chris Beatty, the former coach at Salem High and Landstown High in Virginia Beach who later held assistant coach positions at Hampton University, Northern Illinois and West Virginia.

This development is sure to rankle Tech coach Frank Beamer, who has often talked about the need for coaches to keep their mitts off recruits that have made solid commitments to programs.
