Virginia Tech basketball fans have been waiting on decisions from forwards Justyn Mutts and Keve Aluma since the 2021-22 season ended with last month’s loss to the Texas Longhorns in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Both forwards have one year of eligibility remaining, thanks to the “free” year of eligibility due to COVID-19. On Monday evening, Mutts made his decision. Mutts announced he was entering the 2022 NBA draft but would maintain his college eligibility.
So, yes, there’s a chance he returns to Blacksburg next season.
Mutts wrote the following message on his social media accounts:
Dear Hokie Nation, my heart is forever with you.
