Virginia Tech lands Wright State star Grant Basile
Mike Young and the Hokies received a huge boost via the transfer portal, in the form of 6’9 forward Grant Basile. Basile joins the Hokies by way of Wright State, where he averaged 18.4 ppg and 8.5 reb.
Basile has all of the tools to be successful in the ACC, and specifically in Mike Young’s system. He can beat you inside on the block, and has shown the ability to shoot a high percentage from beyond the arc. He also lead the Horizon League in blocked shots, averaging 1.6 per game.
In an NCAA tournament loss to #1 seed Arizona, Basile poured in 21 points while shooting 40% from the field and 33.3% from 3.
Following the loss of Keve Aluma and David N’Guessan, Hokie fan should expect to see a lot of Basile early and often next season. Welcome to Blacksburg, Grant!
Hokie Hoops Lead
Virginia Tech class of 2019, I left Blacksburg with a love for the Hokies basketball programs. Jumping on board Sons of Saturday to lead the charge covering both VT hoops programs has been a ton of fun, with more on the horizon!
