Virginia Tech basketball coach Mike Young received more good news via the NCAA transfer portal Tuesday when Rice forward Mylyjael Poteat announced he was coming to Blacksburg.
Poteat is a 6-foot-9, 260-pound forward/center who averaged a total of 6.8 points and 3.7 rebounds per game over two seasons. Poteat was listed as a redshirt freshman last season but should have three seasons of eligibility remaining with the Hokies due to the COVID-19 free year of eligibility.
After playing sparingly as a freshman in 2020-21, Poteat played in all 33 games last season, averaging almost 14 minutes per game.
