Now that we know what our team will look like next year (posted below) I wanted to hear anyone else's knowledge and opinions moving forward. Just had a few question that can be answered by the community. Side note - This is my first Topic, don't roast me too much if I made any mistakes.
Point guard out of North Carolina threw down a pretty nasty dunk in practice and earned himself the top spot in Sportscenter's "Top 10". He currently only holds offers from Tech and Clemson but is ranked #51 in ESPN's rankings so he'll most definitely be gaining some major offers in the near future. Still awesome to see Buzz going after these types of recruits, even if we don't land them.
In an interview with Outside the Lines, Rashad McCants, the second-leading scorer on the North Carolina basketball team that won the 2004-2005 national title, admitted that tutors wrote his term papers, he rarely went to classes, and he remained able to play because he took bogus classes designed to keep athletes academically eligible. I know that winning is important to all athletic programs, but Id rather have an empty trophy case than having student athletes taking bogus classes to remain academically eligible. IMO.
He is transferring to VT from USF.
I'm going to play at Virginia tech thanks to all those who support me and all I believe in! #GoHokies #VT— Zach LeDay! (@ZachLeDay32) June 4, 2014

Buzz Williams made #38 on ESPN's Top 50 College Hoops Coaches.
No. 38: Buzz Williams, Virginia Tech
Virginia TechWilliams' streak of Sweet 16 appearances at Marquette finally ended in 2013-14, and so did his tenure: In March, Williams was lured to Virginia Tech to help new AD Whit Babcock salvage the now-disastrous decision to fire Seth Greenberg (who, full disclosure, now works at ESPN) and hire greenhorn James Johnson. Williams will have a football pocketbook and near total autonomy in Blacksburg, Virginia, and you better believe the Hokies will get better fast.
