Brandon Chambers, whose career started as a student manager for VCU and went to the Final Four under Shaka Smart, is now a D1 head coach - he was named as HC for the UTRGV Vaqueros in the Southland Conference this morning. #LetsGoVCU goutrgv.com/news/2026/4/...
According to HoopDirt, Brandon Chambers is the frontrunner for the HC position at UTRGV. Former VCU student manager, he was the interim head coach at McNeese when Will Wade was suspended, and shocked VCU at the Siegel Center in his first game. Great guy who deserves the opportunity. #LetsGoVCU
X.com Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops VCU junior big man Lazar Djokovic is planning to return to the Rams, his agent KJ Smith told @TheFieldOf68. Djokovic averaged 13.2 points and 5.2 rebounds this past season. The 6-11 Serbian was first-team all-conference, the A-10 champion and had 15 points and five rebounds in the win against UNC.

#LetsGoVCU fam, this is HUGE
Looking promising for VCU in 26-27. Nyk Lewis, Michael Belle, and Lazar Djokovic have all announced they're returning, and Tyrell Ward is very likely to return as well. #LetsGoVCU
Nyk is staying home! #LetsGoVCU
VCU's Obi Okafor is entering the transfer portal. Obi walked on at VCU after turning down a scholarship offer from Hampton and stuck it out here through three coaches. Hopefully he lands someplace and is able to play! #LetsGoVCU
Well, Illinois going to the Final Four makes me feel a bit less bad about getting destroyed by them. #LetsGoVCU

The "got hands" meme showing a boxer saying "ok ima fight Bones Hyland", then the same boxer resting and drinking water saying "damn Bones got hands"
15 years ago today, VCU achieved basketball immortality and shocked #1 seed Kansas 71-61 to advance to the Final Four. Jamie Skeen, despite nursing a shoulder injury, had 26 points and 10 rebounds. At #2 in the AP poll, Kansas is the highest ranked team VCU has ever beaten. #LetsGoVCU #MarchMadness
Will Wade's coaching journey:
- Harvard assistant
- VCU assistant
- Chattanooga HC
- VCU HC
- LSU HC
- McNeese HC
- NC State HC
- LSU HC?
There and Back Again: A Coach's Tale #LetsGoVCU
Pretty cool (for me) that VCU ultimately cost Hubert Davis the head coaching job at UNC. #LetsGoVCU #GoDuke #GTHC
And Dallin Hall, who Ryan Odom recruited from BYU while coaching VCU against them last year, loses the game for UVA. Poetic. #MarchMadness #LetsGoVCU
UVA is collapsing fast and for once I find it satisfying that Odom didn't get any further than we did. #LetsGoVCU
Expectations: 20ish wins, top 4 finish in the A-10, hopefully a NCAA bid
Reality: 28 wins, regular season co-champs, A-10 tourney champs, one of the greatest NCAAT games ever with a win over a blue blood, national relevance
Yeah, I think it was a good year. #LetsGoVCU
Another fun season in the books. (Highlighted games I attended.) Thanks #RamNation Have a good offseason 🖤💛
#LetsGoVCU #LetsGoRams #VCU
Congrats to the Fightin’ Illini. Sorry if I was salty to some of y’all over the course of this game. That Houston game is going to be highly entertaining. But still #LetsGoVCU
And now we get to go into the "Will our coach and players get poached" season. #LetsGoVCU
Ram Nation or no nation. #LetsGoVCU
With the new players and coach it was more than I would have ever expected or hoped for. Jesus Christ we beat unc and probably sent their coach into retirement. #LetsGoVcu
Well, it was an incredible season. Nothing to be ashamed of. #LetsGoVCU
Ram Nation this was such a fun season. Super proud of what these guys accomplished. Reg season co-champs, A10 tourney champs, made it to the Round of 32. Lots to be happy about, even though we’d all obviously love more #LetsGoVCU
Omg we're actually going to shoot a free throw #LetsGoVCU
Games not going well but I do love when people are reintroduced to the peppas #LetsGoVcu
I'm sure you'll all listen to the Dayton guy, but you really shouldn't use this hashtag if you think they're out of this game
#LetsGoVCU
19 point deficit. Right where we want 'em. #LetsGoVCU
TERRENCE HILL WITH 5 POINTS IN 5 SECONDS #LetsGoVCU
We came back from down 19 but I don't know about this one. #LetsGoVCU
