Satchel Pierce Tweets He Plans to Transfer From Virginia Tech

Hokies' 7-footer intends to transfer.

Virginia Tech forward Satchel Pierce has made public his intention of transferring to continue his college basketball career elsewhere.

Pierce averaged 3.2 points and 2.4 rebounds per game as a freshman in 2014-2015, but saw those numbers drop as playing time became sparse in his sophomore campaign. Pierce made zero starts as a sophomore and recorded minutes in just 20 of 31 games.

Pierce was a highly-recruited forward out of Barberton, Ohio, who was once committed to Marquette, but the 7-footer opted to follow current Virginia Tech head coach Buzz Williams to Blacksburg.

With Ahmed Hill primed for a return and Delaware transfer Kory Holden rumored to have Virginia Tech among his final list of potential suitors, it appears that Williams may once again field a faster, smaller lineup in his third year at the helm of the Hokies.

Pierce has not yet disclosed where he intends to transfer.
