Seth Greenberg picked up a verbal commitment from 6-4 rising junior Robert Brown, who said last month that he wants to play for the Virginia Tech Hokies. The verbal makes him the first member of Tech’s 2011 recruiting class. Brown plays at East Ridge High School in Clermont, Fla., and has a 4-star ranking by Rivals.com … as a sophomore. The kid has two more years to mature at high school before coming to Blacksburg for his freshman season.

ACC Shootaround – http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/notebook?page=notebook/shootaround/acc
** 10 players we can’t wait to see ** – “10. Erick Green, PG, Virginia Tech: Green can play both guard spots and loves to run. He has elite quickness and speed and excels in the open floor. His acrobatic finishes at the rim are a sight to see.”
“Virginia Tech
The Hokies have three of the top rising juniors in the ACC in guard Malcolm Delaney and forwards Jeff Allen and J.T. Thompson. Losing A.D. Vassallo is a blow because he made big shots, notably 3s. But coach Seth Greenberg is banking on the aforementioned trio to keep the Hokies relevant. Tech is relishing its under-the-radar role of being a team that isn’t expected to contend. The Hokies fully expect to be in the mix.”
Bilas has us at nine in the ACC: “9. Virginia Tech: I think expectations should be pretty darn high in Blacksburg, because this team has a chance. Malcolm Delaney and Jeff Allen can both score, and there are good pieces to go around them. I really like the Hokies’ potential. One thing they need to figure out is what they want their identity to be. Ask yourself: What is Virginia Tech’s identity? Who are the Hokies? Before the first practice, the players had better have a good answer. Otherwise they’ll just be pulling an upset here and there.”
