Blacksburg, VT (Future150) -- The Hokies already have a strong two man class heading to Blacksburg next year, can Coach Williams add any more elite prospects to this class? How good are the two prospects that have already made their pledge?
HARD COMMITS:
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, 6'5" Shooting Guard, Chattanooga (TN): One of the best wing guards in the nation, Alexander-Walker has great size at 6'5" and is a very talented scorer. With his length and good basketball IQ he also has potential to develop into a big time defender under Buzz Williams. Don't be shocked if he isn't in Blacksburg for all four years, yes he is that good.
Wabissa Bede, 6'1" Point Guard, Ashburnham (MA): Bede is the Hokies most recent pledge as he gave a commitment to Coach Williams and Virginia Tech on Wednesday evening. After a huge summer on the Adidas Gauntlet Circuit, he started to prove to scouts and coaches that he has what it takes to be at a high-major program. A true floor general that brings a lot of intensity and passion, Bede will become a quick fan favorite among the Hokie fans.
OTHER OFFERS:
Virginia Tech still has plenty of offers left on the table to uncommitted prospects but the ones that the fans should focus on are Antwan Walker, and Dre Perry. Neither of them are locks by any means but these two are probably the ones who the Hokies have the best shot at landing out of all the other prospects. Overall, Buzz Williams is off to a great start with the task of rebuilding this program.
