Amani Hansberry Transfers From West Virginia To Virginia Tech

Amani Hansberry, a sophomore forward from West Virginia, has announced his commitment to Virginia Tech, marking his third team in three years after playing for Illinois and WVU. He averaged 9.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game during his season with the Mountaineers, showcasing a significant improvement in performance despite battling an ankle injury. Hansberry's decision to transfer is influenced by his close relationship with Chester Frazier, who recently joined Virginia Tech's coaching staff after leaving his position at West Virginia. His transfer adds to a significant reshuffle of the WVU roster, which has seen multiple players enter the transfer portal following coaching changes. Hansberry will have two years of eligibility remaining as he transitions to his new team. This move highlights ongoing trends in college basketball regarding player mobility and coaching connections.
