After missing out on four-star wing Tyrell Ward and former five-star center Efton Reid, the Virginia Tech basketball team received some good news Wednesday.
Wright State forward Grant Basile announced he was transferring to Virginia Tech, and he should have two years of eligibility remaining with the Hokies. Basile has played four seasons but redshirted his first year and has an additional year of eligibility due to COVID-19.
Basile, a 6-foot-9, 225-pound forward from Pewaukee, Wisconsin, chose the Hokies over Iowa State, Wisconsin and Notre Dame. Considering Basile’s roots, it’s an impressive feat for Virginia Tech to overcome those schools in obtaining Basile’s signature.
