For UVM, their top players will most likely be the TJs (Hurley and Long), Lucas Mari, Ben Michaels, and Gus Yalden.

Hurley- 1st team all conf last yeat
Long- 1st team all conf 2 years ago
Mari- Spanish star recruit
Michaels- former MAC all rookie team
Yalden- transfer from Seton Hall/Wisconsin/4* recruit

Also, if I had to guess, this would most likely be the starting line up. But who knows!

 

For Bing, I’ll go Quigley 3rd Team. I think he’s going to get the green light for being more of a scorer than he was at Iona, where he averaged double digits. He’s a solid distributor and chips in with a few rebounds.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he went 13/4/4 with decent enough shooting percentages. Might be enough to get him a 3rd Team spot if Bing is middle of the pack.

Or, he’s another Lemond dud. Who knows?!

 

For Maine....

Gribben seems poised for a break-out year. Not sure if that translates to all-conference....maybe 2nd/3rd team if he has the numbers.

Wichita State transfer Yanis Bamba is intriguing.

Ojuri, N'Galang and Flagg bear watching for all-rookie status.

 

I can only say Ace Valentine. Jury is still out on Ciunys, and I can’t say anything else about all these portal players because I don’t know them well and I hate what college basketball has become.

 

Surprise returnee Josh Odunowo should be a strong contender for awards, but wouldn't be surprised if a healthy* Devin Ceaser was able to work his way onto an All-Conference team.

 

For Vermont I’m quite skeptical of Long’s comeback. I’ll be rooting for him for sure but he keep seeing him on preseason all-conference first/second teams and I’m not sure how realistic that is.

TJ Hurley - first team
Barnett - all defense
Mari - all-rookie team
Michaels - 2nd or 3rd team
Skipper - 3rd team or all-defense

Sean Blake or Barnett - 6th man of the year (??)

starting line up projection:
Michaels
Skipper
Hurley
Long
Mari
