VMI guard with a development window
Richard Bruce is a VMI guard whose current profile appears more about upside and fit than headline numbers; publicly available roster and team-stat sources don’t show enough verified 2025-26 production to fairly label him a stat-leader yet. What makes him worth watching is the VMI context: a program that has leaned on guard play, pace, and shot creation, so a guard who can defend, handle pressure, and make quick reads can carve out real value. If he’s reliable, tough, and steady, he could be the kind of low-drama, high-utility backcourt piece coaches love.
