HOKIES' DAVIS TO SIT OUT FINAL YEAR

Virginia Tech senior guard Scott Davis will not return for his final year of eligibility next season, Tech basketball coach Frankie Allen said Friday.

Davis' decision gives Allen two open scholarships for next year. Tony Jackson, who quit the team in January, is transferring at the end of the semester.

Allen said he's not sure if he'll use the scholarships. Next year, Tech will have redshirt freshmen Jimmy Carruth and Corey Jackson available, plus early signees Jay Purcell and Donald Corker.

"I want to make sure that we can get somebody that can really help us," Allen said. "We're looking for size first."
