According to ESPN we are now on a 6'7" transfer from Virginia Tech...
UPDATE: Dorian Finney-Smith has been contacted by Florida, Memphis, Georgetown and VCU since he announced his plans to leave Virginia Tech on Tuesday, writes Larry Rubama of The Virginia-Pilot.
Florida, VCU and Georgetown had all been linked to Finney-Smith in recent days, but the inclusion of Memphis is a new development. Rubama writes that Finney-Smith expects to hear from more schools in the coming days, so more schools could emerge as frontrunners for the forward.
It is interesting that Memphis has cracked Finney-Smith's list; coach Josh Pastner has maintained Memphis would not pursue projects during the offseason, and would only contemplated adding players that can immediately impact Memphis. Though Finney-Smith would not be eligible next season, and has struggled to find his offensive groove during ACC play, it's difficult to impress effort on players, and the freshman forward has a knack for crashing both the offensive and defensive glass.

Though Florida looks to be the early frontrunner for Virginia tech transfer Dorian Finney-Smith, Dave Telep of ESPN Recruiting points out that several other schools could be in the mix.
"Will be a few days before list emerges by Dorian Finney-Smith," Telep tweets. "Might hear Fla, VCU, Kansas and Villanova plus others."
Adds Jeff Borzello of CBSSports.com: "Hearing Florida, Marquette, Georgetown and Iowa State as potential landing spots for Virginia Tech transfer Dorian Finney-Smith."
