Va Tech Roster Look

Definitely not an expert but diving into with all the new players Hysier Miller transferred from Temple where he was double figure scorer and starting guard at the point. Ben Burnham transferred from University of Charleston where he was a double figure scorer at 6’7” who does a little bit of everything. Mylyjael Poteat is a 6’9” bruiser who is skillful who probably only plays up to 25 minutes due to legs? Jaden Schutt is a 6’5” transfer from Duke who played sparingly mainly due to talent on roster and an injury but was a top 50 player and a shooter who could flourish in a. Mike Young offense? Rodney Brown JR is a 6’6” transfer from California who just shot 3 point shots, played in every game, and shot 39.7 percent as a freshman. Brandon Rechsteiner and Jaydon Young are two sophomores who should receive playing time. We saw them play last year. Young looks like a spot up shooter and Rechsteiner a back up point guard for now. Toibu Lawal is a transfer from VCU who is a gifted leaper and will play and add some excitement. How much depend on his other attributes as a player The two true freshman from Florida I have to admit ignorance on Tyler Johnson 6’5” and Ryan Jones at 6’8” with some bulk The other transfer from Eastern Michigan, Connor Serven, who is 6’8”, hopefully can play some defense and provide a few minutes. In looking at the roster keys will be, especially after Miller and Burnham, development of Brown Jr, Schutt, and Lawal as well as improvement in Young and Rechsteiner.

No Wessler on this....I guess he will never be a contributor.**
BleedinOandM 09/26/24 07:25 AM ET
He will probably get a degree then portal someplace with needs

Still hope he'll be available to give us a few quality minutes every game.**
EDGEMAN 09/26/24 07:31 AM ET
Think the main question in my mind is how the minutes will break down
NC Hoke 09/26/24 01:11 AM ET
The most obvious problem (there are others) is who plays the other . . .
MidloHokie 09/25/24 05:31 PM ET
Lawal, Poteat and Jones will take up the minutes at the 5**
GCHokie34 09/25/24 07:44 PM ET
Interesting statement by Young today...
Chris ColemanAdmin 09/30/24 11:15 PM ET
Very interesting...
GCHokie34 09/30/24 11:18 PM ET
Yeah, seems like Burnham is starting at this point.
Chris ColemanAdmin 09/30/24 11:25 PM ET
Ryan Jones can play 5; Wessler too **
hokiepro 09/25/24 07:35 PM ET
Wessler can but will he get any significant minutes. We did not see any
949hokie 09/26/24 04:59 PM ET
Guys like him can be significantly better before their time is up.**
IB4TECH 10/01/24 09:02 AM ET
He played a few good minutes bs someone. ND I think **
hokiepro 09/27/24 07:13 PM ET
CAN but is he likely too...**
949hokie 10/01/24 03:42 PM ET
I think OOC games will play all the bigs a lot to figure that out
HokieAl 09/25/24 05:43 PM ET
I would add that Schutt and Brown were solid 4* recruits at Duke and Cal.
