He joined the program in the summer of 2016 as a graphic designer. Chambers’ responsibilities have evolved since joining the staff, necessitating a new title to better reflect his duties. He works closely with the staff, planning and executing material for all aspects of the recruiting process. His responsibilities include creation of all recruiting content coming from within the program, facility re-design, managing the recruiting mailing lists, social media outreach, game uniform and practice gear designs, as well as assisting the team on the court during practice and games. Prior to joining the Hokies, Chambers worked in Los Angeles as vice president of strategic planning under Nike’s director of international basketball and hall of fame coach George Raveling. He worked directly with Raveling on consulting projects involving Nike, USA basketball, the Los Angeles Clippers, the AAU, the Basketball Hall of Fame and a variety of high-major NCAA basketball programs. In 2015, Chambers started his own collegiate athletics recruiting company named Won’t Lose Designs. This company serviced more than 10 Division I programs, including a variety of men’s and women’s amateur sports, as well as several NBA players. Chambers attended Virginia Tech, where he earned a degree in economics. He was a student manager in 2014. During his senior season, he innovated the “SwagTag,” a recruiting tool aimed to teach and benefit players, parents and coaches. Chambers’ brother, Brandon, is currently the video coordinator at the University of Nevada. In 2014, Josh donated his athletics scholarship that he received as a student manager to the ALS association in honor of his late father, Col. Jay Chambers, who passed from Lou Gehrig’s disease in 2010. DIRECTOR OF RECRUITING OPERATIONS J O S H CHAMBERS
