James Bouknight, the 6-foot-5, 185-pound shooting guard from the MacDuffie School (MA) and the PSA Cardinals, took his first official visit to Virginia Tech this week.
“The visit went well,” he said. “I had a good time, they have a nice campus and a great staff. I like what they have to offer there.”
With Buzz Williams’ program losing several seniors, Bouknight could play a key role.
“I would have a big role,” he said. “They have four seniors leaving so there’s a lot of playing time. But I’m still going to continue to go on theses visits. I still haven’t made any decisions.”
Bouknight, who returned just before Peach Jam from a torn meniscus suffered in January, next visits Miami (Sept. 7-9) and UConn (Sept. 14-16).
He has a final five of Virginia Tech, Miami, VCU, Indiana and UConn.

“Most of the schools recruiting me right now said I’ll come in and play right away and I’ll be an impact player so that’s mostly the schools I’m looking at,” he said recently.
