Heilbron is a cheerleader through and through. Visionary, ambassador, supporter, all fantastic. But evaluator of talent? I dunno about that.

Unfortunately, when you lay it on that thick, it's more difficult to believe. TPP and TSM are HIGH-major guys all of a sudden? Akwasi, who starred here and would be in the discussion to have his number retired if he stayed, just transferred to Rutgers. Rotational guys Moor and Long just transferred to Texas State and Southern New Hampshire. So you're telling me that these incoming players went completely under the radar and should be playing P5 basketball? What did he tell us about Moor and Long?

Hey, I hope he's right, but ... have you seen Vermont's roster?

Well said. But you have to give Helibron credit. He is the most positive person I think I have ever spoken to. He definitely knows how to rally his troops. But, I still se SB finishing 500 this season.

We'll have some serious competition in the AE this year, but this is better than a .500 team. I expect 20 wins and a 2nd or 3rd place finish in the AE. He's a cheerleader for the team, but at the same time we're basically getting four starters back from a 24 win team last year. No reason to be a pessimist.

Quite frankly. I dont think 500 is a pessimist at all. This is a rebuilding team from top to bottom. From an entirely new coaching staff, players and heck! Even a new president. Going 500 for year 1 of a new team is expectable, respectable and plausible.

I don’t see how this is a rebuilding team “top to bottom” when 9 players are returning players. Again I don’t see how is this “entirely new” coaching staff when the Head coach and assistant Head coach has been with us since 2016 albeit in different roles. The AD specifically chose continuity over top to bottom rebuild.

No doubt Vermont will again be the cream of the crop this year but I fully expect us to give them a run for money.
