The
Virginia Tech men’s basketball team, under head coach Seth Greenberg, rang in
the New Year with some changes that were readily noticeable to followers of the
program. Some were overt changes, like the addition of Jeff King, while others
were more subtle. In any event, one important and historical question has given
birth to an answer for a future trivia question.


Following in the footsteps of Bryan Randall from last
season, junior tight end Jeff King joined the Virginia Tech basketball team on
Monday, making his collegiate basketball debut and going scoreless in Wednesday
evening’s 69-58 victory over Bethune-Cookman. At 6-5 and 250+ pounds, King
instantly becomes the largest player on the Hokie team, and his addition will
hopefully add depth to a team that has been challenged all season by its
collective lack of size and brawn.
