He had 11 assists and took 7 3 pt shots all season last year.....

Doesn't sound like a 4 in this system. Doesn't mean he wouldn't be good to get, but he sure looks like a backup 5 this year while the Jones develops.

bjw810 • 04/25/24 11:37 PM ET
He just committed to Tech.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/26/24 12:39 PM ET
Watched him one time last year. Go get him!**

VCU highlights. Lotta dunks.**

ACC refs will have him w/ 2 fouls before opening tip. **
RhinoVT • 04/26/24 11:41 AM ET
looking at his stats, that appears to be a weakness, avgs 5.67 fouls / 40m
ME Hokie 07 • 04/26/24 12:55 PM ET
Not afraid to fight for a rebound or take it to the hoop.
EDGEMAN • 04/26/24 09:22 AM ET
He has Deron/Clarke hops for sure.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/26/24 10:17 AM ET
My son, a VCU hoops guy says “There’s moments he looks like a lottery draft

Nice insights. Thanks for sharing.**

Yea, I like this transfer- we needed more athletic players crashing the

For sure; Les Henson in the 70’s could skywalk**
WOJO • 04/26/24 12:31 PM ET
My vote for Les as well. Incredible athlete.**

When VT lost to Larry Bird's Indiana State team in the NCAAs in 1979...

I was a bartender at After Sundown for several years..
SarahVTHokie24 • 04/26/24 02:44 PM ET
I remember that dunk. Indiana State went on a 20-0 run shortly after that.
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/26/24 01:42 PM ET
I actually remember that dunk. Les could leap too.**
Nortazhokie • 04/26/24 01:19 PM ET
Deron is still one of my favorite Hokie ballers!
EDGEMAN • 04/26/24 11:01 AM ET
Pretty sure if Deron played today he would have a Lipton NIL deal.**
HokieAllMyLife • 04/26/24 01:29 PM ET
Well Lawal is from London so maybe he should have a Lipton deal. Tea time!**
OrlandoHokie • 04/26/24 02:42 PM ET
LOL, good one!**
40ozDistrict • 04/26/24 01:37 PM ET
I enjoyed watching Deron.**
Atlee Hokie • 04/26/24 10:57 AM ET
Dirk Williams the OG for me...
Diehard Hokie • 04/26/24 10:32 AM ET
One of the few things Frankie Allen had going for him
Pylons • 04/26/24 02:22 PM ET
Now that's a name I hadn't heard in a while. And you're right about him!**
4dhokies • 04/26/24 01:11 PM ET
Dirk definitely had some hops.**
Nortazhokie • 04/26/24 11:54 AM ET
Yep. Was about to bring him up. Wasn’t he left handed?**
VT One • 04/26/24 12:45 PM ET
Yes**
Nortazhokie • 04/26/24 12:48 PM ET
I remember the under the basket lob play for Dirk Williams

Supposed 49 inch vertical in VCU testing last year.**

Don't deny him the final 0.5"**

I'm only going on what is written
Vippie1 • 04/26/24 08:28 AM ET
Just wait til the fans decry the lack of fundamental skill**
GCHokie34 • 04/26/24 11:55 AM ET
God help him if he misses a free throw in a close game. Seriously....
vtbball80 • 04/26/24 12:34 PM ET
Defense and Rebounding looks strong
WOJO • 04/26/24 01:53 PM ET
Maybe Bam can transfer back too,that would be a story!**
HokieBrazil • 04/26/24 07:53 AM ET
The first player to play for 7 teams?**
EDGEMAN • 04/26/24 09:26 AM ET
WOW!**
TomA • 04/26/24 03:47 AM ET
Love his rebounding...6 per game in 18.9 mpg.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 04/26/24 12:42 AM ET
Speaking of rebounding
VTCC 65 • 04/26/24 02:43 PM ET
If they run a 4-guard offense, he's probably their 4-man.**

He would be an ideal 4 for this team

vtbball80 • 04/26/24 01:15 AM ET
A solid back up 5 may be all we require to fill our need at that position.**
NC Hoke • 04/26/24 01:59 AM ET
I could see him and Poteat splitting time equally. Poteat can get into foul
Hokie`79 • 04/26/24 06:06 AM ET
I thought he was a 4**
YBYSAIAHokie • 04/26/24 08:58 AM ET
He can play both and we need depth at both.
NC Hoke • 04/26/24 12:40 PM ET
I obviously don't know anything for a fact but I feel like he would

He could, he just didn't have to**

In his 3 years, Justyn was a 33% 3P shooter. If that is bad, bring

That % is better than Pedulla's this past year....**
Bmackattack • 04/26/24 12:27 PM ET
He was also an excellent passer to make up for it. Hard to replicate that**
Hokie622 • 04/26/24 09:18 AM ET
Mutts made our offense run. He was the key.**
EDGEMAN • 04/26/24 09:23 AM ET
Sure.
hokietom87 • 04/26/24 11:17 AM ET
I agree.
EDGEMAN • 04/26/24 11:20 AM ET
Great example. Mutts seemed to work out well for us in a CMY offense.**
HoakieCup • 04/26/24 08:50 AM ET
Would be incredible. Versatile 4 that can defend and insane vert**
jfrance41 • 04/25/24 11:53 PM ET
How is he versatile (at least so far in his career)?**
GoldCoast • 04/26/24 08:58 AM ET
Can guard multiple positions**
