    New Virginia Tech Coach Buzz Williams will keep two of his prized possessions in Ahmed Hill and Satchel Pierce.

    The former Marquette commits opted to follow Williams to the ACC after taking official visits on Saturday.

    The No-61 ranked player in the class of 2014 according to 247 Sports, Hill will join Justin Bibbs and Jalen Hudson to create a more-than-solid backcourt trio for the 2014-15 season in Blacksburg.

    The 6-10 Pierce from the Kiski School in Saltsburg, Pa., gives the Hokies an interior presence after they lost Trevor Thompson, who transferred to Ohio State.

    Meantime, former Marquette commit Mariol Shayok told SNY.tv he’s considering Marquette, Virginia, Indiana, Michigan and Florida.
