Buzz Williams has never been shy to load up his program with guards and wings, and another 2018 prospect is still on the table.

Mouth of Wilson (Va.) Oak Hill Academy four-star shooting guard Keyontae Johnson recently narrowed his list of options to four schools, and Virginia Tech is one of them.

Florida, Georgia Tech, and Texas Tech are the other finalists for the 6-5, 220-pound wing. The No. 114 overall prospect in the class, Johnson eliminated Kansas, Minnesota, Wichita State, and several others from his list.

The Hokies already have two wings committed in three-star Jarren McAllister and top-100 four-star Landers Nolley. With point guard Jon Kabongo in the class and VT in search of a big man, they may not have much room for Johnson in the class. They currently have 11 scholarships committed for the 2018-19 season (out of 13), so there is one swing spot available for a player of Johnson's caliber - unless senior Ty Outlaw, who suffered an off-season knee injury, is granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA, in which case a bigman would take the last remaining scholarship in the class.

He has already taken official visits to Florida and Texas Tech, and having used official trips to go to Minnesota and Wichita State, he only has one remaining, with which he'll have to choose between his other two finalists.
