While at VCU

Wasting No Time: Gwynn jumped right out of the gates in 2008-09, knocking down his first 14 shots of the year, including a perfect 8-for-8 night in VCU’s season-opening 82-59 victory over the Citadel (Nov. 16).

Battling Back: After suffering a foot injury that kept him out for nearly two months and missing 14 games, Gwynn bounced back to average nearly six points a game over the final 10 contests of last year. Included in that span was a 4-for-5 performance with eight points in the NCAA Tournament against UCLA.

Tourney Time is Gwynn’s Time: In eight career CAA Tournament games, Gwynn has averaged over six points per outing in an average of 15 minutes.

Lone Man Standing: Gwynn is the only player on the roster left from the 2006-2007 squad that toppled perennial power Duke, 79-77, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. He now has two NCAA Tournament appearances in three seasons at VCU.

Valuable Learning Experience: After redshirting in 2005-06, Gwynn blasted onto the scene in 2006-07, shooting nearly 57% and averaging 4.8 points per game to earn CAA All-Rookie accolades.

The High School Days

Senior Standout: Conference Player of the Year, First-Team All-District and First-Team All-State honors is how Gwynn wrapped up his final season for the Cavaliers.

Key to Success: Gwynn was the leader of the Cavaliers and during his two MVP seasons as a freshman and a junior, when his squads ended up hoisting the state championship trophy.

Dominating the District: Three out of Gwynn’s four seasons at Cummings, he helped lead the Cavs to a district championship. Each one of those seasons, he earned All-District accolades.

Giving it All a Try: On top of playing four years of basketball at Cummings High School, Gwynn played four years of football, two years of track and one year of soccer.

Getting to know T.J.

The Next Bo Jackson?: Well, it’s not exactly that, but Gwynn listed the NFL as his ultimate job outside of his professional basketball dreams.

Virtual King: Other than eating, sleeping, class or basketball, Gwynn can be found playing video games. He particularly dominates opponents on NCAA Football from EA Sports.

Seafood King: Gwynn is a seafood aficionado and lists shrimp as his favorite food and the popular seafood restaurant, Croaker’s Spot, as his favorite place to eat in Richmond.
