1) Do you think Mike Young will hit the portal heavy this offseason to fill up the roster, or seek to grow high school recruits? – Ranger Sam

Chris Coleman: That will certainly be a conversation to be had with his assistants as soon as the season ends. As of right now, here’s how Virginia Tech’s roster will look heading into next season…

G Hunter Cattoor (Sr.): Can play on the wing or serve as a backup PG
G Nahiem Alleyne (Sr.): Can play on the wing
C John Ojiako (Sr.): Can play center
G Darius Maddox (Jr.): Can play on the wing, and perhaps at PG in an emergency
F David N’Guessan (Jr.): Can play power forward, with spot minutes at small forward
C Lynn Kidd (Jr.): Can play center
G Sean Padulla (So.): Can play PG, with limited minutes at SG
F Jaylen Haynes (So.): Can play PF with limited minutes at C
G Rodney Rice (Fr.): Can play on the wing and give minutes at PG
G MJ Collins (Fr.): Likely a 2-guard at Virginia Tech
C Patrick Wessler (Fr.): A true center

That’s 11 players, which means that even with no attrition Mike Young will be able to bring in two new players for next season. It appears that one of those players could be Woodrow Wilson (DC) forward Darren Buchanan, who is listed at 6-7, 225 by the recruiting services. I’m not sure if Buchanan is considered a small forward or a stretch-4 by Mike Young, but I’m guessing a stretch-4 who could also play small forward if needed.
