Virginia Tech added a commitment from Ben Emelogu, a 6-foot-5 guard out of South Grand Prairie (TX) High School.

Emelogu turned down scholarship offers from Marquette, Washington, Texas-Christian, Weber State, Albany, Texas-Arlington and Texas A&M Corpus Christi.

Emelogu brings Texas Tech’s number of commitments for the 2013 class to four.

Maurice Kirby, a 6-foot-9, 215-pound forward, gave a verbal commitment to Virginia Tech on Thursday.

Kirby originally committed to Arizona State when he was a sophomore at Poston Butte (AZ) High School.

Kirby held offers from Brown, Northern Arizona and Loyola Chicago.
