Virginia Tech basketball: Nickeil Alexander-Walker declares for NBA Draft

The Virginia Tech Hokies named a new coach on Sunday afternoon when Mike Young accepted the position. Shortly thereafter, the Hokies lost their leading scorer when sophomore Nickeil Alexander-Walker announced he had hired an agent and was entering the 2019 NBA Draft.

Dear Hokienation,
