Erick Green Rumors & News

Well unfortunately Hokies, I have bad news in regards to Erick Green's day two performance at the NBA Draft Combine. Green did not appear on the floor with the point guards at the beginning of testing, and concerned, I began looking around the interweb and with the help of our wonderful North Carolina SB Nation blog, Tar Heel Blog, I was able to find this: Scary moment earlier with Erick Green banging knees with Kabongo. Looked bad for a moment but thankfully he's OK. Just a bruise. #nbacombine — Jonathan Givony (@DraftExpress) May 17, 2013 Obviously it's good to hear that it appears...

Erick Green has perhaps the best chance to be drafted of any Hokie in the modern era. Though Tech has not been a hotbed of future NBA'ers, nor has it produced the best basketball pedigree, it has produced a handful of individual players who were good enough to make it to the NBA, though some for one reason or another did not. With Green's combination of size, athleticism and natural scoring-ability, he projects as a better prospect than some of the previous Tech players who were undersized or on-par for their position average, or were defensive specialists the like of Deron Washington ...

We made our case for Erick Green to be the ACC Player of the Year one week ago. It wasn't difficult to do, but being that Green was on a last placed team at the time (which ended up finishing alone in dead last) and as this team was not Duke or North Carolina, I felt like Green had about as good of a chance as hell freezing over. That sentiment was nearly confirmed to me yesterday as the All-ACC teams were released. Green made the first team, and comfortably, but did not receive unanimous votes like fellow ACC POY candidate Mason Plumlee. But as the day went on, many ACC media types po...

Few Virginia Tech basketball fans remember a spritely Erick Green walking onto the court against the Brown Bears in the Hokies' first game of the 2009-10 season. I was there, simply to look at the incoming freshman class. The Hokies eventually took four players in that 2009 class: Erick Green, Cadarian Raines, Ben Boggs and Manny Atkins (only two of which remain with the team). It was a relatively nondescript game for Green who had a total of 3 points on 1-1 from the field (1-1 from deep) and a turnover in 3 total minutes of action. He was one of only two freshman to play in that game ...

Although UM has its much-awaited game at Duke on Saturday, its first task is handling Virginia Tech and its star, Erick Green.

Let's face it folks. This basketball season is over for the Hokies. Many of us holding out hope that there was enough left in the tank to make a slight turnaround and get back close to .500 to finish the season now know that's not in the cards. There will likely be no beating Duke, as the Hokies spoiled their best chance at that Thursday night, a quasi-benchmark for a good season since the Hokies entered the ACC. Erick Green, as great as he is, can not will this team to win all by himself. In the Hokies' 32-point home loss to the Blue Devils Thursday, Green was one of three players on ...
