The Virginia Tech women’s basketball team picked up verbal commitments from two high school players last week.
Carys Baker, a 6-foot-1 forward from Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, Connecticut, is rated the No. 59 high school senior in the nation by ESPN.
Mackenzie Nelson, a 5-8 point guard from St. Luke’s School in New Canaan, Connecticut, is rated the No. 60 high school senior in the country by ESPN.
The two are teammates with Clara Strack on a New York travel-ball team. Strack verbally committed to Virginia Tech two months ago.
Virginia Tech now has commitments from four recruits in the graduating class of 2023, including Samyha Suffren, who picked Tech last winter. She is rated the No. 75 senior in the nation by ESPN.

ACC Network show to debut Monday
The ACC Network will debut a new daily studio show Monday.
“ACC PM” will air weekdays from 4-7 p.m. The hosts of the football-oriented show will be Mark Packer, who used to co-host the cable channel’s now-defunct “Packer and Durham” morning show; former North Carolina and NFL player Tre Boston; and Florida State graduate Taylor Tannenbaum, a former TV sports anchor in Indianapolis.
The show will originate from Packer’s basement studio, just as the “Packer and Durham” show did.
Durham remains with the ACC Network as a play-by-play announcer.
