BURLINGTON, Vt. – University of Vermont men's
basketball head coach John Becker has announced that junior Brendan Bald will not return to the team for the
2012-13 season.
“I have decided not to play basketball my senior year so that I can
focus my time on my academics,” said Bald. “I plan on graduating a
semester early and studying for the LSAT's this fall. It is my hope to
enter law school and pursue a career in law. I am thankful for my three
years of being a member of the UVM basketball team and I thank the
coaches, fans, and alumni for their support. I have created memories I
will never forget. It is in my best interest to step away from the game
of basketball and I wish the team and the coaches nothing but the best
in the future.”
Bald started all 36 games last year, finishing fourth on the team in
scoring (7.6 ppg). He reached double figures 12 times on the year and
scored a career-high 21 points in the Vermont's first win of the year at
Dartmouth, going 5-for-8 from 3-point range and added five steals. A
team captain last season, Bald was also the America East Defensive
Player of the Year and all-conference third team selection following his
sophomore season.
“Brendan has decided not to play basketball his senior year and to focus
on his academics,” said Becker. “He is not transferring and will stay
at UVM his senior year. I want to thank Brendan for all his hard work
and contributions to the men's basketball program. He will always be a
Catamount and I wish him the best in the future.”
BURLINGTON, Vt. – University of Vermont men's
basketball head coach John Becker has announced that sophomore Ryan McKeaney will not return to the team for the
2012-13 season. McKeaney plans to transfer closer to home for his final
two years of eligibility.
“We wish Ryan the best and appreciate the effort he gave us over the
last two years,” said Becker.
McKeaney played in 26 career games for the Catamounts, including 10 this
past season as Vermont won the America East Championship and advanced
to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Marlton, N.J. native
scored two points in his final game against No. 1 seed North Carolina.
>> It has been speculated by John Fantino of the Burlington Free Press that Sophomore walk-on Clancy Rugg will recieve a scholarship.
Now, let's a game of H-O-R-S-E going. Hopefully the Obama administration can carve out some time for President Obama to hoop-it-up with the University of Vermont Men's Basketball team today during his Vermont visit.
Knowing how much of a hoops fan Obama is, he should make time to stop by the University of Vermont's Patrick Gym and shoot around with the guys. As a presidential hopeful, Barack balled with the UNC Tarheels (see photo above from ESPN), and chose them to win in his 2012 NCAA Tournament picks. He has a chance today to spend time with Vermont's #1 sports team.
Welcome to Vermont President Obama.. see you on the court.
