When Neoklis Avdalas gave his verbal commitment to Mike Young and Virginia Tech back in the spring, it seemed too good to be true. However, it came with some patience as the star from Greece made his visit to Blacksburg on his way to take part in the 2025 NBA Draft Combine.
The verbal commitment meant that if Avdalas withdrew from the NBA Draft process that he would likely play for the Hokies in 2025-26. He ended up withdrawing from the Draft process and signed with Virginia Tech officially. He instantly becomes one of the highest-rated recruits to ever sign in Blacksburg.
