Starting My VCU Basketball Research
So this morning I decided I really wanted to get the lowdown on VCU hoops, especially after hearing some buzz around campus. I started simple: just typed “VCU basketball news” right into my search bar. Figured I’d see what popped up first without trying too hard, you know?

Right off the bat, tons of articles jumped out. Felt kinda overwhelmed! My gut said “focus on the players.” So I started digging into roster changes. Kept seeing names popping up – transfers coming in, dudes heading out. Wrote down the big ones:
- Ace Baldwin leaving? Ouch, that hit hard.
- But Nick Kern Jr.? Solid name sticking around.
- Then some new faces like Max Shulga.
Then, got curious about who’s actually balling out this season. Went straight for the stats pages – man, those numbers don’t lie! Zeb Jackson kept coming up in assists. Toibu “Tobi” Lawal? That kid can JUMP, rebounds like crazy.
Hit a snag with injuries though. Seriously hard to find clear info! Finally spotted something about Sean Bairstow. Foot injury? That sucks big time. Had to double-check that across a couple sites to be sure.
Putting It All Together
After all that digging, I thought “man, people need a quick hit on what matters.” Wanted to pick just a few key stories, not drown everyone in details. Decided on these highlights:
- The big roster shake-ups – who’s in, who’s gone.
- Lawal’s beast mode on the boards.
- Bairstow’s injury news – huge bummer.
- Shulga’s killer long-range shots.
Honestly, organizing it felt harder than finding the info! Took me way longer than I thought. Kept jumping between tweets, official sites, fan forums… tried to spot the facts everyone agreed on.

Wrapping Up My Deep Dive
Finally hit save on my little roundup. My brain felt fried, like I’d played a full game myself! Learned one thing for sure – keeping track of college ball moves is no joke. You blink and someone transfers or gets hurt. Gotta be quick. Coffee helped, wouldn’t have made it without caffeine. Next time? I might start with Twitter first, save the deep stats for later. That was a grind.
