Virginia Tech head coach Buzz Williams confirmed what Hokie basketball fans feared on Saturday afternoon following a victory against Boston College.

Williams announced that Chris Clarke and Landers Nolley, who have yet to receive any game action this season, would not suit up for Virginia Tech during the 2019 season, according to a Tweet from Mark Berman of the Roanoke Times.

Clarke, a leader on Virginia Tech’s basketball team during the 2017-18 season, was suspended indefinitely from the Hokies basketball program in October.

There was no explanation given by the Virginia Tech athletics department regarding his indefinite suspension, which appears to last at least the length of the season.

During the 2017-18 season, Clarke was second on the team in both steals and assists.

Nolley, who was the top recruit in Virginia Tech’s 2018 class, enrolled at Virginia Tech ahead of the 2018-19 season but due to a reported ACT score, the former 247Sports Composite four-star recruit has yet to be cleared by the NCAA.

The 6-foot 7-inch forward was considered the No. 67 overall recruit nationally in the 2018 recruiting class.

Both Clarke and Nolley are eligible to redshirt during the 2018-19 season. It is unclear if either will be cleared to return to the program in the future.

With Clarke and Nolley sidelined, Virginia Tech has compiled a 13-1 record and ascended to No. 10 nationally. Virginia Tech is 2-0 in the ACC.

Virginia Tech will travel to Atlanta, GA, to take on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Wednesday, January 9. Tip-off is set for 7:00 PM.
