QUICK HITS:
· Quick, athletic guard who can score in
bunches
· 6-7 wingspan allows him to be a defensive
nuisance on the perimeter
· Brandenberg wore No. 23 as a freshman but
switched to No. 11 prior to his sophomore year. VCU great
Kendrick Warren’s No. 23 jersey was retired several years ago
and Brandenberg chose to wear No. 11 in an effort to leave his own
distinct mark on the program.
AS A SOPHOMORE (2011-12):
The Basics:
· He saw action in all of the Rams’ 36
contests and received the starting nod in 15.

ppg and 2.2 rpg.

Team after averaging 12.7 points in VCU’s three games.
· Garnered All-CAA Academic Team honors.

Georgia State were the most by a VCU freshman since Kendrick Warren
scored 24 during the 1990-91 season.

sidelines with a broken hand for an eight-game stretch, Brandenberg
