When Buzz Williams stepped down as Virginia Tech head coach two weeks ago to take the same position at Texas A&M, turnover was expected on his former team. You had outgoing seniors such as Ahmed Hill, Justin Robinson and Ty Outlaw, but there were other critical decisions like would Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Kerry Blackshear return?
Well, it’s been a roller-coaster ride since Mike Young was announced as the new coach. Alexander-Walker wasted no time in announcing his NBA intentions. Blackshear announced he was entering his name into the NBA Draft and transfer portal, while guard Wabissa Bede would also enter his name into the portal.
