I really don't understand this. Last year this definitely would
have been the case, but we get three of our five starters back,
and Garcia who might as well have been a starter given the
minutes he played this year. That's four out of five positions
being pretty solid going into the year I think. The only real
question I have is at PG. Losing Yeboah is huge no doubt, but at
the same time he was at maybe 50% for much of last season. I
don't see us struggling. The problem for us isn't so much that
we're worse, it's that everyone else is going to be better.
Albany is going to be much stronger this year, and with Lamb
back Vermont should run the table in the AE, get ranked, and
hopefully knock somebody off in the tournament. It'll take some
next level chaos for Vermont to not win next year I think.
With all of that said, this team probably won't have the depth
last year's team did. We had 8-9 guys who could legit play last
year. If we have 7 this year I'd consider ourselves lucky. I
could be underrating the transfers we've brought in though, so
time will tell. I don't expect us to win double digit games in
the non-conference this year, but a 20 win season an another AE
title game appearance are more than reasonable expectations for
this team.

Very fair assessment, IMO, VA. Olaniyi, Garcia, Latimer,
Otchere, Ochefu, McKenzie, Christie, Ceesay all back. Pretty
good core. If Foreman and one of the rookies pan out early, we
have our 8 deep. If Policelli is eligible (still probably a
remote TBD), then we have possibly a 9-man rotation.
With Ernie Duncan gone, big loss for UVM; almost as devastating
as losing Yeboah. I think we challenge for the top, and finish
in Top 3, assuming we stay healthy. 20 win season is fairly
high probability, IMO. Of course, time will tell with all.

NcKenzie, Otchere and Christie are all bench players with
limited minutes. Like I said. This team is going to be raw and
inexperienced and i am not expecting much out of them this
season. Time is whats needed for this team.

I feel pretty good about a top four seed. I see Maine, UNH,
Binghamton and completely depleted Hartford as seeds 6-9 in some
order, and then Lowell as the likely 5. Vermont, Stony Brook,
UMBC, Albany in the top four, with UVM as the heavy favorite.

FWIW, Otchere started every game for us last year, and is the
only returnee to have done so. Just 18 minutes a night though. I
think we all agree that it'd be great to get him up over 25 in
his second season here.
Chair, can you unpin 2018 recruiting? And maybe pin 2021?

I think he meant Ochefu(I used to make the same mistake and mix
them up too). He got decent minutes to start the year, didn't
play for a month an a half for God knows what reason, and then
came back and got some more minutes at the end of season.

UMass (my alma mater) is BRUTAL right now. 2,000 fans in a 9,500
seat arena, players transferring in and out, just a mess. It
would be difficult to find a school with a worse football/hoops
combo than UMass. But still the A-10 so you have a point.

A couple interesting 2020 nuggets.
Zed Key (Brentwood) committed to Ohio State. He was on our radar
for a while until the big boys got a look at him.
Andre Curbelo (LuHi) narrowed his list to five schools –
Illinois, Oregon, St. John's, Miami and Indiana. Rooting for the
Johnnies. He looks like a great college point guard.
