Mike Young, Virginia Tech’s head coach since 2019, will experience a notable change as Hunter Cattoor won’t be part of the team when the Hokies start their 2024-25 season in November. Cattoor, who achieved a career-high average of 13.5 points per game last season, has departed Blacksburg. He consistently scored at least 10 points per game in his final three seasons with the team.
Looking ahead to next season, the Hokies’ lineup will undergo significant transformation without Cattoor. Meanwhile, Cattoor himself remains active, having signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers’ summer league team. While not yet on the Cavaliers’ roster, participating in the summer league offers valuable exposure that could potentially lead to a regular-season opportunity with Cleveland or another NBA team.

During his tenure at Virginia Tech, Cattoor set a program record with 332 career three-pointers made, showcasing his impressive shooting ability with nearly a 42% accuracy rate from beyond the arc. These skills make him an appealing prospect for NBA coaches.
In closing, congratulations are extended to Hunter Cattoor. While his presence in Blacksburg will be missed, everyone wishes him the best in his future endeavors both on and off the basketball court.
