Thompson on Sergeev: Alexei had a successful first semester at Virginia Tech and is in position to have a great year in 2005-2006. He has had to battle some injuries this summer but I am confident when he regains his form that he will again be a major factor for the Hokies this spring. Alexey brings a wealth of international experience to the table and it will be fascinating to see how hard he will work to reach the top of this team.
