After redshirting in the 2018-2019 season, Basile was named to the Horizon League All-Freshman Team in 2020, tallying 6.2 PPG and 4.3 RPG. The future Hokie followed up his inaugural year on the court as a Second Team All-Horizon League selection, pouring in 15.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per contest en route to the 2021 Horizon League regular season title.
Basile will join the Hokies in hopes of repeating as ACC Champions, providing depth in the frontcourt after a successful career at the mid-major level. The 6-foot-9 forward will have two years of eligibility in Blacksburg.
