Have any of our Bball players declared for the portal yet?

They are meeting with the players this week...
I would bet they already know who is staying and who is leaving. But I doubt the general public finds out until after the Final 4 when the portal opens

Hansberry If he leaves it isnt because VT didn't want him Hammond Johnson Gurdak If he leaves its definitely because VT didn't want him Pasha Could stay/Could go Schutt Dorn Jones Never seen them play, so hard to tell whether VT liked them or not Freeman Davis Who cares Peterkin

So, when you say Avdalas NBA you mean he will be taken in the 2nd round?
The mock draft I just looked at doesn't even show him in the 2nd round. If necessary, do you think he is willing to play in the G league? ** Edited by VT ChemE 1986 at 3/18/2026, 10:59:57 AM

We all know mock drafts come from thy lord…
Neo may or may not go in the 1st round but trusting mock drafts at this point beyond the top 10 or so picks is pointless. Pre-draft evaluations haven’t happened yet. I’m willing to bet Neo likely goes somewhere in the last 12 picks or so of the 1st round. He’s too technically skilled to fall further than that.

Im not doing this for 3 months...
He will be entering the draft. He will get drafted where he gets drafted. He will not require the G League

He won’t be ready until at least his mid 20s so maybe 2032

No. That said, the portal isn't open right now.

Portal site already listing new players.
My expectation is returning 4-5 players again. Disappointing for those who enjoy year to year interactions with the team.
