Moves into starting five DeLoach will make his first start of the season Friday against Winthrop, Jordan Hill of 247 Sports reports.

Impact DeLoach battled an early-season leg injury, and while he hadn't missed any official games as a result, he was relegated to a reserve role that saw him produce 4.4 points and 5.0 rebounds through five contests -- both significant declines from his sophomore year at VCU. That could change Friday, as he'll make his first start with the Bulldogs in place of Ramses Melendez.

Impact DeLoach came off the bench last Saturday against Fordham and was still able to put up 11 points, eight boards, and two blocks in 25 minutes. He had been dealing with a knee injury, but with that now behind him DeLoach should continue as the starting anchor in the middle.

DeLoach also came just two rebounds shy of notching his fifth double-double this season, and he's now averaging 9.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 blocks per contest during the 2022-23 campaign.

Impact During the game's first half, DeLoach underwent a hard fall that prevented him from putting any weight on his left leg. He was seen using crutches and with a brace around his left knee. DeLoach was unable to return to Wednesday's game and will be doubtful before VCU's upcoming game Saturday versus Fordham.

Prior to that the sophomore had a six-game stretch where he was averaging 15.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.2 blocks, and 2.0 steals per contest. Hopefully that's the type of player we get going forward.
