Centers

C-1 Keve Aluma

Aluma sat out last season due to NCAA transfer rules. But either him or John Ojiako could start next season for the Hokies. Aluma averaged six points, six rebounds, one assist, and  0.9 blocks a game in 2018. He was the only player who followed Mike Young from Wofford to Blacksburg. He will provide much-needed depth and rebounding for a Virginia Tech team that lacked depth at the center position last season.

C-2 John Ojiako

I think one of the biggest questions coming out of Virginia Tech’s offseason, was how much did John Ojiako improve? Everyone saw how raw he was coming into last season as tech’s only big man. But his development by the end of the season was very promising. Ojiako averaged two points, two rebounds, and 0.7 blocks last year.

Like I said earlier the starting center position could go either way between these two. And if Ojiako makes a big leap into his development he could easily move into the starting center role next season.
