Despite the early exit from the big dance, the Hokies have plenty of reason to feel good about their season and the future. Virginia Tech was dealt a difficult hand with injuries and a shortened rotation and made the most of a tough situation, making the tournament for the first time in a decade. The 2017 recruiting class will bring an influx of talent to the team, with highly-touted recruits Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Wabissa Bede. Buzz Williams’ program continues to show phenomenal growth, and the team should be primed to make back-to-back NCAA appearances for the first time since 1986.
