There are a lot of reasons to be excited for the 2025-26 Virginia Tech men's basketball season. One of them is that the Hokies will have a more exciting roster than they had this past season, where they won just 13 games.
Veteran coach Mike Young has upgraded his roster on paper and brought in some potential impactful transfers, along with some key incoming freshmen. Let's not overlook that Tobi Lawal entered the NBA Draft process and withdrew to return for his senior season in Blacksburg. A future Hokies' player who entered the same process and also withdrew to become a Hokie is Neoklis Avdalas.
