Virginia Tech basketball: Keve Aluma returning to the Hokies next season

Virginia Tech head basketball coach Mike Young received some good news on Thursday when senior forward Keve Aluma announced he was returning to Blacksburg for the 2021-22 season.

Aluma, a 6-foot-9, 235-pound forward from Berlin, Maryland, withdrew his name from the 2021 NBA draft this week. In his first year of eligibility with the Hokies, the former Wofford transfer averaged 15.2 points and 7.9 rebounds per game last season.

Aluma was named second-team All-ACC after the season. He was one of the ACC’s top players last season for his ability at both ends of the floor.
