phenomenon once again:
21 PTS, 5 REB, 4 AST, 2 STL
2023 F Michael Belle told me he has committed to VCU.
Belle is a versatile British forward who averaged 17PPG, 9RPG and 3.1APG this season for SIG Strasbourg in the French U21 League.
He chose VCU over Dayton. One of the top international players in the ‘23 class.
@rtpgfx
Sophomore Nick Kern had a breakout season. He embodies the term Broad Street Bully for VCU. Kern can jump over you, drive through you, and lock you down on the defensive end. Defenders be warned, you can get out of the way or end up on a poster.
The VCU fan base has been feisty this week. Here’s where I stand with Mike Rhoades.
He would have to go winless next year AND punch me square in the face in some rendition of Malice at the Palace for me to consider moving on from him 😂 In Rhoades I trust - in this team I trust
Sophomore Jalen Deloach was an integral part to VCU's success this season. JJ's effort on both ends of the court was good enough to land him on the A10 All Conference Third Team. Do not be surprised if he is leading the charge for First Team in the years to come.
Jacob Patrick, a 6'6 guard who played rotation minutes for German league semifinalists Ludwigsburg, has committed to VCU in the class of 2023, he told ESPN. Patrick shot 38% for 3 this season and bring significant pro experience to the A-10.
Zeb Jackson has an opportunity to shine at VCU this upcoming year. He showed the ability to shoot, drive, pass, and lock down defenders all year. With quick feet and unbelievable athleticism, look for a well adjusted Zeb to put up BIG numbers this year.
David Shriver aka 3Bird.
Whenever Shriver touched the ball, you could feel a change in the level of excitement. Capable of making shots from anywhere on the court and proved it time and time again. He instantly became a fan favorite in his only season with the Rams.
The VCU Rams Men's Basketball Team is 10 days away from kicking off their season with an exhibition against Mars Hill.
A chaotic offseason is finally coming to an end.
Well I did most/all of this a few drinks in after the game yesterday. Watched it back today and it cracked me up.
2/3's of the way through the season and this is where VCU stands.
I have so much ammo from preseason, 'VCU can't sniff Dayton and SLU jock straps' twitter. I guess all I ask is if I should black out the @'s in the video?
VCU Rams take down Penn State Nittany Havoc 86 to 74. Huge W after a couple of heartbreaking losses over the Thanksgiving weekend. Next up, in state opponent Norfolk State at home on December 1st.
Oklahoma transfer, Joe Bamisile, announces he has committed to VCU. A Chesterfield native and top-100 high school recruit, he transferred to OU after earning All-Conference honors at GW the season prior while averaging 16 ppg. Welcome to Ram Nation, Joe!
Jamir Watkins returned with vengeance this year after being sidelined with a serious injury in 2021-'22. Watkins provided VCU with instant offense and lock down defense all season. The sky is the limit for the New Jersey native.
What Trenton makes, the world takes.
"After hearing today's testimony & arguments and reviewing the submissions filed by attorneys, I am granting an initial & temporary restraining order for 14 days. And enjoining the NCAA from enforcing the transfer rule until the hearing on the preliminary injunction on 12/27."
JAMIR WATKINS needs to be A10 player of the tournament. UNBELIEVABLE showing from the kid. To embrace the role and to dominate in it when it mattered most!
What TRENTON MAKES THE WORLD TAKES.
Ace Baldwin. Enough Said.
A10 Player of the Year
A10 Defensive Player of the Year
A10 First Team
A10 Regular Season Championship
A10 Tournament Championship
ESPN Sources: Memphis Grizzlies G/F Vince Williams Jr. is expected to sign a new three-year, $7.9M guaranteed contract. Williams — 47th overall pick out of VCU in 2022 — is believed to be getting the most guaranteed money coming off of a two-way deal.
Her: "Hey I'm getting off work now, dinner?"
Me: "I'm good. VCU has two more roster spots to fill and my meme chamber is completely empty. There is another kid rumored to be announcing from Ger... you there?"
Her:
You almost feel bad that VCU fans annexed the Charles E Smith Center. The loudest this crowd has been on TV is from audible VCU chants. The broadcasters are mentioning it and chuckling. It's sad. I pray this isn't their senior night.
🚨BREAKING🚨
VCU and the state of Virginia are taking off the gloves and prepared to pursue legal action for justice. The NCAA is about to find out how it feels to be a part of a Mid Major upset.
Big shoutout to
@ZachJoachim

I'm thankful for you putting in work around the clock, away from family, during Thanksgiving weekend. I have appreciated the coverage during the holiday. Safe travels home fellas.
Lets go VCU
Dayton Twitter: “Obi only got 4 minutes before Thibs pulled him! His def efficiency in those minutes were unreal!”
A10 Talks: “Idk.. Yuri Collins over Bones might be the move.”
VCU Twitter: “Bones with another 20 point performance in his rookie season!”
Ace Baldwin improves to 17/32 from behind the arc this year through 9 games. That's 53.1% on the year. Baldwin ends the game with:
19 Points
6 Assists
4 Boards
4 Steals

Revolutionaries!
VCU coaching rumors are swirling after many reliable A10 Twitter sources said stuff.
🚨BREAKING 🚨
Big Bird will be the next men's basketball coach of the VCU Rams.
An exclusive press conference is under way NOW, on Channel 11 WRIC.
LETS GO RAMS. VCU dominates SLU on FridA10 night. Joe Bamisile had 29 points, 5 boards, a steal and a block.
Next game is Tuesday 1/23 at home against the LoyChi Rambs
@DytFlyers
Whatever. Why would anyone want to go to VCU? U of Richmond. Absolutely. UVa. Absolutely. Playing in a 7,500 seat old recreation center does little for anyone. May come down to NIL.
caveat before the few A10 Twitter people that like to scour the timeline for any VCU fan mentioning positives about their team - yes, it's extremely early. But it's a good sign, especially with Bairstow out.
Best of luck to VCU’s Vince Williams. Dream scenario for me would be him getting his name called at 21 to the Denver Nuggets.
Regardless I’m rooting for any scenario!

Or when a married man’s wife was killed and he was being interrogated as the suspect for hours before they realized he too was shot in the head. Which was a big reason why he had little memory of the events/was uncooperative
VCU take: Breakout Player
Nick Kern is a player that can do it all. After a successful freshman year, watch out for him moving forward. Just like the rest of his class (Nunn/Deloach) Kern possesses that dog mentality. Lock down, transition, facilitate.
Knicks announce that undrafted free agent David Shriver will play for them in the Summer League.
Shot 40.3% from 3P on a VCU team that made March Madness last year.
KeShawn Curry - what a run. One of the best defenders, slashers, and finishers at the rim. Would love to have you back next year if that’s even on the table. If not, I hope you achieve every goal you’ve got.
Jalen Deloach is gonna be feasting when he gets the benefit of the doubt calls in his favor. I swear he gets 1-2 really questionable calls against him a game.
