Virginia Tech basketball: Hokies to host top international prospect on visit

Could Virginia Tech coach Mike Young be on the verge of landing an elite prospect for next season?

On Friday, the Hokies will host Greek wing Neoklis Avdalas in Blacksburg. Not familiar with Avdalas? Let’s fill you in.

The 6-foot-8 Avdalas currently plays for Peristeri B.C. in the Greek Basketball League and was named the Greek League’s Best Young Player in 2024. Before Peristeri, Avdalas played one season for ASK Karditsas in the Greek League. Avdalas began his professional career in 2021 for Panathinaikos, one of Greece’s top teams. He was only 15 when he began his professional career.
