Virginia Tech will be losing one of its basketball assistants. Chester Frazier is expected to accept a position at the University of Illinois.
A former Illini player, Frazier heads back to his alma mater after two years in Blacksburg. He joined Virginia Tech from a previous stint at Kansas State (under Bruce Weber, for whom he played at Illinois).
Frazier was the assistant most-tasked with heading up the Hokies' recruiting efforts, so replacing him means more than just plugging in a coach on the same page with Mike Young's Xes and Os.
The Hokies will search for a replacement once Frazier's departure is made official.
