VCU predicted 3rd in CAA, Burgess First All-Conference

The votes have been counted – VCU is predicted to finish 3rd in the CAA this season. With the loss of 4 critical seniors from the Final Four run, VCU is now a young team with a lot to prove. The only returning senior, Brad Burgess, while not being crowed as CAA Preseason Player of the Year (award was given to Kent Bazemore of ODU), was selected to All-Conference First Team.
