Virginia Tech basketball: Hokies land Memphis transfer John Camden

The Virginia Tech Hokies men’s basketball team is coming off a big weekend. Over the past several days, the Hokies hosted multiple priority recruits — one a high school recruit and two other high-profile transfers.

On Monday, head coach Mike Young received some good news when former Memphis forward John Camden went public with his commitment to Virginia Tech. The 6-foot-8 Camden was initially a top-50 player in the 2021 recruiting class and chose Memphis over the Hokies.

Camden was injured in his lone year with the Tigers and appeared in only one game. He received a medical redshirt and has four years of eligibility remaining at Virginia Tech.
