photo Thompson on Guevara: Christian has the talent it takes to become a top player here at Virginia Tech. He has shown signs of really elevating his game this summer and I expect that if Christian works as hard as I expect him to then he will achieve the lofty expectation we have for him. As he matures and develops into a stronger more physical frame, Christian has the tools to develop into a top threat in the ACC.
