This weekend is a jammed packed weekend on the Virginia Tech campus for a number of reasons. The football team is hosting Rutgers in a non-conference game as well as a ton of recruits, while Mike Young and his staff will be hosting three key Class of 2025 recruits. That’s where we will begin with the latest Virginia Tech Basketball Recruiting News.

Virginia Tech men hosting 3 top recruits

Currently, four-star forward Sin’Cere Jones and four-star center Christian Gurdak have committed to the Hokies and Young in the Class of 2025. There are still a couple of spots open in the class and this weekend, three recruits are going to be in Blacksburg visiting.

Guards Kayden Mingo and Simon Walker we highlighted earlier this week and joining them will be four-star wing Jordan Scott, who was the Virginia 6A Player of the Year last season. He was tabbed over the summer as a rising player in the class and one of the top wings on the AAU circuit. He recently reduced his list of offers to three, Virginia Tech, Michigan State, and Maryland.
