Shortly after Virginia Tech’s overtime loss to Florida on Friday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, I planned to sit down and write how fans should be hyped about the 2021-22 Hokies.

Bamisile, a super-athletic 6-foot-4, 195-pound guard, was Virginia Tech’s top recruit last season. During his freshman season, Bamisile played in a total of 13 games, averaging 8.9 minutes per game, 3.2 points per game and 1.5 rebounds per contest.
Bamisile’s biggest contribution came in the Hokies’ win at Miami on Feb.
