The Colorado State men's basketball team has landed another four-star recruit in the transfer portal.
Point guard Brandon Rechsteiner has verbally committed to join the Rams, sources close to the program confirmed to the Coloradoan.
The former Virginia Tech player entered the transfer portal recently following his sophomore season. Rechsteiner played in 32 games and started 15 last season as a sophomore at Virginia Tech, averaging 7 points and 2.8 assists per game. The 6-foot-1 Rechsteiner had a season-high 19 points in a game against California in the ACC tournament.
His 91 assists led Virginia Tech. Rechsteiner played in 58 games over two seasons at Virginia Tech.
He's rated as a four-star transfer by 247Sports.
