Late Thursday afternoon, the Virginia Tech Basketball twitter page released a statement from coach Buzz Williams telling fans that forward Khadim Sy had left the program, as well as the school. Sy started twenty-eight games for the Hokies last season and was being counted on once again in the upcoming campaign.

Though this news was a surprise, it is a trend that is becoming common in the Buzz Williams era. Sy is the 12th player to transfer or leave since Williams took the team over in 2014.
