The Nebraska basketball got some bad news on Wednesday afternoon. A highly touted power forward target announced he was headed to Virginia Tech.
Yavuz Gültekin made the announcement on social media with a picture of him adorning a Virginia Tech jersey. The bad news was not exactly a shock.
While the Maryland prep star had scheduled a visit to see the Huskers, that visit wasn’t planned until next month. When he announced Tuesday night he was picking his school, it appeared the writing was on the wall.
Still, there was hope that the forward might see what was happening in Lincoln and take the plunge.
