The draw to play at Virginia Tech lured one of the front runners for 2027 Indiana Miss Basketball out of state.
McCutcheon’s Lillie Graves committed to the Hokies on Wednesday, June 24.
Graves is a four-star recruit who ranks 49th in 247Sports 2027 national recruiting rankings and 55th in ESPN’s SportsCenter NEXT 100.
The 6-foot-1 guard/forward helped lead McCutcheon to IHSAA Class 4A semi-state appearances in each of the past two seasons and to the regional as a freshman.
In 82 career games with McCutcheon, Graves averaged a cumulative 19.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.6 steals. She has 1,565 career points, helping the Mavericks go 68-15 during her career.
Virginia Tech is coming off a 23-10 season that earned it a No. 9 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Hokies lost to Oregon in the opening round.
