Admiring Buzz's Rebuild of the Roster

When Buzz Williams led the Hokies onto the court the first time in 2014, the roster he sent into action looked very different from the roster he will potentially have in 2019.

Four transfer players made up the roster, including two who were ineligible for that season. The highest rated recruit on tge team was Ahmed Hill with a 247Composite rating of .9754. The mean rating of that team was .8850, while the median was Seth Allen at .8764. This roster also consisted of two unranked players, in Malik Muller and Adam Smith. Four scholarship players on the roster measured in at 6-7 or taller.

Fast forward to 2019, and the roster has certainly strengthened, from the standpoint of recruit ratings. Led by Landers Nolley's .9752 (nearly equal to Hill's .9754), the mean rating currently sits at .9194 (+.0344) with the median sitting between KBJ (.9270) and Yavuz Gultekin (.9095). The roster also contains three players at or taller than 6-7.

Should Williams be able to bring in Qudus Wahab, the 6-10 C from Flint Hill, the numbers would only get better, with the mean rising to. 9206 and the median becoming KBJ.

Buzz has done a phenomenal job bringing aboard more depth of talent than most Hokie fans can remember.
