No matter what you think of Virginia Tech basketball, it’s hard to imagine anyone not seeing Buzz Williams as a massive improvement over his near-predecessor, Seth Greenberg (James Johnson had two inconsequential years between them).
He’s taken some of the nastiness off of the program that existed when Greenberg was there and made it resoundingly competitive.
Still, it seems like obstacles keep coming up, mostly untimely injuries.
This summer though it’s been player departures.
First, Tyrie Jackson transferred out to a JUCO. Then recruit Jarren McAllister decided to skip out on his commitment and play a year in prep school.
