Millbrook (Winchester, VA) junior Erick Green ended his recruitment last Friday, announcing his commitment to Virginia Tech. The 6-2, 170-pound standout, who also had been offered by George Mason, James Madison and St. Joseph’s, felt he found the right fit in Blacksburg. And Hokies head coach Seth Greenberg may have found his future point guard.

Committing midway through his junior season wasn’t the original plan, but Virginia Tech turned out to be too good of an opportunity to turn down.

He always had a dream of playing in the ACC and he really liked the fit.”
