a veteran Virginia Tech forward with rebounding value and efficient interior scoring
Barksdale’s Virginia Tech profile shows a physical 6'8" forward who built his value on rebounding, efficient two-point finishing, and reliable free-throw shooting rather than high-usage scoring; in his Hokies career he averaged 2.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 11.8 minutes per game, with 41.7% shooting in his first season and a stronger all-around impact over his three-year VT run.[1][6][11] For a team, he fits as a low-maintenance, defense-and-rebounding role forward who can help with toughness and frontcourt depth, but he was not a perimeter threat or a volume scorer.[1][4]
