Lynn Kidd - Goes for 14 points Saturday Kidd chipped in 14 points (7-15 FG), five rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 86-63 loss to Wake Forest.
Impact Kidd needed 15 shots to score 14 points, but his volume of work on offense meant he still posted a decent stat line once it was all said and done during a 23-point defeat. Kidd has been one of the few productive players for Virginia Tech this season. He has scored in double digits in five outings in a row, and he was also coming off back-to-back double-doubles before this matchup in which he wasn't particularly active on the glass.

Brandon Rechsteiner - Back to bench Rechsteiner will return to a bench role Saturday versus Wake Forest, The Tech Lunch Pail reports.
Impact Rechsteiner as started two of the last three games in place of Sean Pedulla and is coming off an 11-assist effort against American last time out, but he will return to a bench role Saturday with Pedulla back in the mix. Rechsteiner will presumably see his minutes scaled back as well, lessening his fantasy value.

MJ Collins - Starting against Wake Forest Collins is listed amongst the Hokies' starters as they prepare to face off against the Demon Deacons, The Tech Lunch Pail reports.
Impact Collins will return to the starting lineup Saturday after a limited stretch with a knee injury. The 6-foot-4 sophomore has appeared in 10 games this season (seven starts), averaging 5.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 steals on 21.7 minutes per game.

Tyler Nickel - Returns to bench role Nickel will appear off the bench Saturday versus Wake Forest, The Tech Lunch Pail reports.
Impact Nickel had started five straight games for the Hokies, but he struggled mightily in the last game versus American, connecting on just two of his seven attempts from the field and one of four shots from deep. He'll slide to the bench as a result, opening a starting spot for MJ Collins.

Brandon Rechsteiner - Hands out 11 assists in win Rechsteiner finished Thursday's 77-55 win over American University with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and 11 assists over 30 minutes.
Impact The Hokies didn't have problems securing a 22-point win over a lesser opponent, and Rechsteiner was one of the team's top performers. Despite the fact he was making just his second start of the campaign, Rechsteiner handed out a season-best 11 dimes. That said, he has a bench role in most games, and his fantasy upside is relatively limited under that scenario.

Impact Nickel has started in each of the Hokies' last four games and has reached the 10-point plateau in the last two, so he's clearly trending in the right direction. A reliable scorer for Virginia Tech regardless of whether he plays in the starting unit or the bench, Nickel has scored in double digits in six of his 10 appearances.
