Thompson (Fr), or Terrance Vinson (Jr) - Based on our lack of experience, I bet Deron will see a lot of time at PF once we get into the ACC part of our schedule. Hopefully Witcher can rebound from losing his starting gig and minutes last season. And Allen can be a beast. He has an ACC body, though I still doubt he is as tall (6′7″ to 6′8″) as some sources have claimed. But positioning and muscle can be a big equalizer. Thompson is highly rated, too, and will likely get a chance to prove himself. He is similar to Allen in abilities and size, just not as polished. Like with Travis, Vinson = blowout.

The only true* forwards or centers that are returning for the Hokies next year that have played in more than 10 games in their career are Junior Cheick Diakite and Sophomore Lewis Witcher. Terrance Vinson will be a sophomore next year, but he has yet to show he is an ACC caliber player.
