After the men's basketball championship game on Monday night, the Transfer Portal officially opened at midnight. It was announced that some men's and women's players were going to enter the portal from Virginia Tech.
Both Megan Duffy and Mike Young are suffering some big losses this spring, with Duffy already getting a commitment from Tennessee transfer Alyssa Latham. On Tuesday, Duffy got some retention from one player, Samyha Suffren.
The Hokies women's basketball X account posted on Tuesday morning that Suffren is returning to Virginia Tech in 2026-27. After having her 2024-25 season cut short with an injury, Suffren had a major bounce-back season. In 32 games, she averaged just over 20 minutes with 8.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.5 steals a game.
On the men's side, Young suffered another loss, and truthfully, this one wasn't surprising. Center Antonio Dorn is entering the portal. He played in 24 games and averaged just 2.6 points and 1.8 rebounds a game. Dorn is a good rebounder, but his offensive game could use some work. Guard Brett Freeman is also entering the portal.
