It’s been rather quiet around the Virginia Tech men’s basketball team since they were eliminated in the first round of the NIT last month outside of player movement. Of course, perhaps they’ve been overshadowed by the Lady Hokies and their run to the Final Four.
Two Hokies entered the NCAA transfer portal. Freshman forward Darren Buchanan and junior guard Darius Maddox both entered the portal. In some good news, the Hokies added former ODU forward Mekhi Long and North Carolina transfer Tyler Nickel. Nickel is the leading scorer in Virginia high school history and was a significant addition for head coach Mike Young.
