Leads VT off bench Rechsteiner finished with 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 71-66 loss to Louisville.

Impact The Hokies came up short against the Cardinals, but Rechsteiner had a solid showing off the bench and was the only player who scored more than 15 points. The floor general has scored 10 or more points just seven times all season long, however, so he's not an option to provide regular offense.

Tobi Lawal had 15 points with 10 rebounds, Brandon Rechsteiner made seven free throws in the final minute and Virginia Tech rallied to defeat Notre Dame 65-63

Subpar in starting role Rechsteiner finished Wednesday's 70-59 loss to Stanford with four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes.

Impact Rechsteiner got the start at the point due to the absence of Ben Hammond, but he was unable to make a huge impact. Hammond's availability will impact directly on Rechsteiner's upside for the game against California on Saturday.

Starting sans Hammond Rechsteiner is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game at Stanford, David Cunningham of Tech Sideline reports.

Impact The Hokies will be without Ben Hammond in the backcourt, so Rechsteiner will take his place. The sophomore guard is averaging 7.7 points, 3.5 assists and 1.4 rebounds per game when deployed in a starting role (11 games) in 2024-25.

Won't start Saturday Rechsteiner won't start Saturday against St. Joseph's.

Impact After starting each of Virginia Tech's previous 11 games this season, Rechsteiner will head to the bench Saturday while Ben Hammond makes his first collegiate start. Rechsteiner is averaging 7.7 points and 3.5 assists in 26.3 minutes this year.

Scores 19 points Friday Rechsteiner recorded 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and four assists in 26 minutes during Friday's 93-74 win over USC Upstate.

Impact Rechsteiner was impressive Friday and ranked among the offensive leaders for the Hokies in a comfortable 19-point victory. This was a huge step in the right direction for the sophomore, who scored just six points in the season-opening win over Delaware State.

NOVEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Tuesday Rechsteiner will not play Tuesday versus Boston College due to an eye injury.

Impact Rechsteiner will miss his first game of the season, although he has compiled just 25 minutes of action across Virginia Tech's past five games. His next opportunity to take the court comes Saturday against Georgia Tech.

JANUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Rechsteiner will return to a bench role Saturday versus Wake Forest, The Tech Lunch Pail reports.

Impact Rechsteiner as started two of the last three games in place of Sean Pedulla and is coming off an 11-assist effort against American last time out, but he will return to a bench role Saturday with Pedulla back in the mix. Rechsteiner will presumably see his minutes scaled back as well, lessening his fantasy value.

Hands out 11 assists in win Rechsteiner finished Thursday's 77-55 win over American University with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and 11 assists over 30 minutes.

Impact The Hokies didn't have problems securing a 22-point win over a lesser opponent, and Rechsteiner was one of the team's top performers. Despite the fact he was making just his second start of the campaign, Rechsteiner handed out a season-best 11 dimes. That said, he has a bench role in most games, and his fantasy upside is relatively limited under that scenario.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting on Thursday Rechsteiner is listed in the starting lineup for Virginia Tech's matchup against American.

Impact Rechsteiner will get the start in place of fellow guard Sean Pedulla, who is out for precautionary measures. Thursday will mark Rechsteiner's second start of the season. The freshman guard has averaged three points and 1.6 assists per game through 11 contests for the Hokies this season.

DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Rechsteiner isn't in the starting five for Saturday's game versus Vermont.

Impact Sean Pedulla will replace Rechsteiner in the starting lineup Saturday. Rechsteiner is averaging 1.0 points and 1.0 assists in 7.4 minutes across his previous five appearances coming off the bench.
