Keve was smart to explore his options, but that news made my week! And maybe he wanted to experience “THE CASSELL” rocking at full capacity!! Can’t wait. GO HOKIES!!!!!!
I have lost track. Didn’t Bede say he was returning? Thought he would back-up and mentor Storm.
Great news!!! Already looking forward to November 🙂
This will now make the Hokies and force to be reckoned with …likely our best team in many years!
Welcome back home Keve. This is great news for the Hokie Nation!!!
Jalen Haynes potentially 6th man?
A wise decision that must have been a heartbreaking realization. It shows he has his head in the right place and has some very good folks giving him advice.
Good decision.
Awesome news!!! Hopefully, another year of college ball will improve his chances of playing in the pros.
Yay!! And thank you.
Thank you Keve… Top 5 in the ACC come November… Great, Great, great news!
GO HOKIES!!!
Sweet Sunshine!
Thank you, Lord! And thanks to you also, Keve!
Keve, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Well that just makes my day! I’m cautiously optimistic about a sweet 16 this year.
Great that he has feedback on what to work on. That bodes well for this season at VT.
Almost feel badly he didn’t make it although that was certainly a long shot. He’s been a great story here, Wasn’t really all that much at Wofford, wasn’t going to be brought along by MY, he wrote a letter asking to go with him and then, somehow, somewhere he used his sitting out year to transform himself into a slippery post up guy like VT hasn’t had in a long time. Good to see you back.
did not know he had written a letter
LETTERMAN!!!!!
A letter? Go Hokies!!!
That makes me one Happy Hokie!!!
That’s a sweet lineup.
And doesn’t even include Cattoor, Maddox, N’Guessan, and Ojiako
