Yes, Chris Smith is the 24th all time


Leading rebounder in the nation—all time and only a handful short of Ralph Sampson, who played many more games.

He also is the highest drafted Hokie to the NBA, but chose to work in his chosen field Chemical Engineering.

I can’t understand why his number has not been retired and hanging from the rafters ... it’s a disgrace, IMO.

If wasn’t for his class, the Cassell would never have been built.

That class was the major part of a 41 game home winning streak, which remains the longest in the state of Virginia.
