Blake Barkley is in the portal. 6’8” rs Soph from ETSU via Northwestern.
Good looking player and went to HS in WV. Scored in double figures In 24 of last 26 games played for an ETSU team that won regular season SoCon this year with 23 wins. Should be a least worth a look with Gurdak leaving.

A very big deficiency, can’t close out defensive series.

vertical. I agree, his inability to jump is a limiting factor but if folks are using that to get comfortable with the idea that him leaving VT is a good thing, it's a major stretch. Vertical or no, we wanted CG to come back.
