What a week for the Virginia Tech basketball program. While the women’s team lost in the NCAA Tournament, then watched as head coach Kenny Brooks departed for what he believes are the greener pastures at Kentucky, the men’s team is in the middle of a mass exodus.
Center Lynn Kidd, forwards John Camden and Mylyjael Poteat, and guards MJ Collins and Sean Pedulla all entered the NCAA transfer portal this week. On Thursday, another unexpected entry occurred: sophomore wing Tyler Nickel also entered the portal.
With Nickel now in the portal, that means VT’s top eight players from last season are gone via graduation or the transfer portal.
