Hokies announced Elon will come to Cassell in November and George Mason will come to Cassell in December as part of the non-conference slate.
They waited long enough that Darius Maddox will not be present for George Mason. Maddox was a key part in Mason finishing 2nd in the A-10 at 27-9 overall last year.
Free agent Nickeil Alexander-Walker has agreed to a four-year, $62 million deal with the Atlanta Hawks, plus a player option and trade kicker, sources tell ESPN.

Would expect him in a sixth man role - primary backup for Trae Young and another wing depth option behind Dyson Daniels and Jalen Johnson.
One less reason to watch the WNBA reducing me to ZERO. Kitley was waived today after the Aces traded for another Forward/Center from the Dallas Wings
An Exhibit 10 contract is a one year league minimum salary with possibility of earning either a two way contract or spend season with the G League affiliate. The Trailblazers can also waive him at no additional cost. If he spends at least 60 days with the G League affiliate he earns a $75K bonus.
Guensch, a Leesburg native brings 20 years of assistant coaching experience to the Hokies bench. Guensch comes to the Hokies from Missouri State where he had a three-year stint where the Bears went 69-31. Prior to that, he was at Richmond for three years, a year at Bucknell, three years at ECU, two years at College of Charleston, two years at UNCG, and four years at VCU.
He is a proven recruiter.
No big time program experience, though it seems like he did some nice things at a lower tier school.
EDIT: Never mind, Stetson is not poaching our staff. I completely forgot that we parted ways with Webster back in March
Seems like an odd move to me after 9 years in the ACC, unless he is going as a head coach in waiting or something?

According to SI, he is one of CBB's top international players

"Avdalas is testing the NBA Draft waters but is poised to be an instant impact player at the college level should he choose that path.
The 19-year-old prospect has already claimed several major honors in his young career, securing the Greek Super Cup in 2021, earning Greek All-Star recognition in 2023 and capturing the Greek League Best Young Player award in 2024.

JRob was recently named to the Lega Serie A Dream Team and is one of three finalists for League MVP.
In 31 games with Trapani, he has averaged 14.4ppg, and 6.1 apg while shooting 50% from the floor, 41% from 3 and 84% from the line. Trapani is 23-8 ad Robinson led them in almost all offensive categories in two playoff games this week.

Put in during garbage time and scored her first WNBA basket.
Glad to see her back on the court and fully recovered from her ACL tear.
As we close in on the WNBA season, thought it worth an update on where recent Hokies are.
Liz Kitley is healthy and expected to make the Aces roster in a reserve role.
Georgia Amoore will miss all of 2025 with her ACL injury as announced by the Mystics yesterday.
Kayana Traylor is playing for Maccabi Ramat Gan in Israel. Haven't seen her mentioned in WNBA news.
Taylor Soule appears to be in Poland playing for Zaglebie Sosnowiec. No mention of her with Minnesota Lynx this year so far.
Aisha Sheppard currently plays for the Mexican team ADELITAS.
Cayla King is playing in Australia for the SW Slammers. She had been playing in Slovenia for Celje.
Anyone else I should look up?
Solomon Davis
Class of 25
Center
6'11, 205 lbs
Dematha HS
No listing on 247. I saw him live once this season against Paul VI but not much to go on. Seems like a practice squad add but guess we will see.
Appears an injury kept Davis from playing much this AAU season which impacted his lack of recruiting profile heavily.

Bedford comes to Blacksburg after a solid season at UNLV during which he averaged 10.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 23.3 minutes per game while shooting 38.7% from the field and 35.0% from three-point range. Prior to that at Oral Roberts during the 2023-24 season, Bedford averaged 14.6 points and 6.4 rebounds in 30.3 minutes per game while shooting 42.3% from the field including 37.3% from three-point range.
Taylor spent 12 of 15 years training women's basketball players at the P2 level.
He comes to Blacksburg after serving as the director of athletic performance for Penn State women's basketball for one season.
Had prior stops at Tennessee, Auburn and Kentucky. 14 athletes he trained have gone on to professional careers in WNBA or overseas.
