Lee takes in Junior Days

By Miles Fomby

ThaRinger.com got a chance to catch up with Durham, North Carolina quarterback, Lavaedeay “Vad” Lee, after recent junior day visits to North Carolina, North Carolina State, and Duke. He briefly spoke on how each trip went.

“The Duke junior day went pretty well. I have been there a couple of times before and have gotten to some of their games. I had already seen all the facilities and everything they have to offer.

“I got to talk to the coaches a little bit. They had a full contact practice afterwards so that was pretty exciting to see the big boys hit and scrimmage. It was really exciting to see some football this early.”

Vad has visited North Carolina four times now, but this was the first trip he was able to sit down with coach Butch Davis.

“They really impressed me at their junior day. I have not gotten the opportunity to talk to Butch Davis before this trip. This time he took me back to his office and we talked a little bit. He was just telling me where [North] Carolina stands.
I also got to talk to coach [John] Shoop. He just brought me to his office and showed me the play book. He showed me how things operate at the quarterback position at [North] Carolina. I was pretty excited about that. Coach [Ken] Browning also showed me around.”

Right before the N.C. State junior day, Vad and several other top North Carolina prospects had a photo shoot for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. He went on to comment about the N.C. State junior day.

“N.C. State’s junior day was pretty good. This was my first time going over there so I was pretty excited. They showed me around the facilities and I got a campus tour. They showed us around the dorms, where the classes will be, and how the lifestyle at N.C. State would be if I come there.

“The coaches were pretty nice. They showed me a great time and their facilities were great. I got to go on the field and in vision myself in a N.C. State uniform. They have a pretty nice stadium. I met the offensive coach and the quarterbacks coach, Coach [Dana] Bible.”

Georgia Tech also recently offered the 6’3”, 210 pound quarterback and he plans to visit their camp in the summer. He also plans to visit summer camps at Duke, East Carolina, and North Carolina State.

When asked when we could expect a commitment from him he said, “I am not really in a rush to sign anywhere right now. It will probably be on singing day or sometime around then.”

One of the main things Vad will look at when deciding on a college is early playing time.

“The facilities and how close the atmosphere is, how the coaches and players connect. I would like to get on the field early and have a fair chance to play at the quarterback position, maybe even start."

Lee comes in as a 4 star player and the #6 rated prospect in North Carolina on our initial state list.
