Vermont/Kentucky came up in the Stony Brook/UConn thread.
Everybody OK with this being a catch-all college hoops forum?

Very happy that Ewing finally getting a head coaching job. Will
be rooting for his success with the Hoyas. He paid the due and
should have gotten a chance at NBA.. so many coaches are getting
hired and fired.. he deserved a chance.
I initially thought Big East is going to suffer and struggle
after breaking off. But the basketball only 10 small private
schools have surprised me so far with sending half their teams
to the dance. Nova even won a championship!

Early on, I look to see if there are any potential four-year
starters who emerge at AE schools. Or even worse, four-year
monsters like Lamb, who had 23 AND 9 for Vermont in his debut
last year – how'd he get out of the state?!?! Nobody made that
kind of splash in the first few days, but I'm curious about this
kid Stef Smith at Vermont. He played for the U17 Canadian
National Team and is from the same high school as Trae
Bell-Haynes (who I'll be glad to see graduate). Smith had 15
points and 3 steals in 14 minutes in UVM's exhibition against
BU, and double-digit points in the other two exhibitions.
UVM is set up so well with Lamb as the centerpiece the next
three years.

I wonder, if Lamb has a monster year, whether he will stay at
Vermont for all 4 years. I won't be surprised if he transfers
out to a high major.
I would also keep an eye on Becker. He was a hot candidate after
19-0 AE record. If he takes UVM to NCAA tourney again, my money
is on him moving on to a higher profile job. And taking some of
their talents with him perhaps.

Definitely possible. I'm glad that Warney never got lured away
from here. Maine got ravaged by these kind of transfers a couple
years ago and now Little (Colorado State) and Vann (VCU) left
for bigger programs (Little, a Wyandanch kid, has since landed
at UT Martin). Pikiell lost Nigel Johnson to UVa.
In other news, I think the writer is pretty green, but
nevertheless, this was published on a site run by SI.

Strangely, that just so happens to be the same ceiling for
Vermont."
Imagine that? An AE team in the Final Four?? Highly doubt it.
Wishful thinking.

I'd love it if they could make it. It'd be huge for the
conference even if it wasn't us. Maybe UVM can get an at large
bid this year with all the hype while we steal the autobid ;D

Im very loyal to the Big East and go to the BET yearly. I can
only hope it continues to excel. The Northeast needs a top tier
league. I hope Uconn joins it again... and that someday SBU may
find a home there.
