Under Pressure

UVM announced that former Vermont basketball star, Matt Glass, is transferring from UMass to UVM. Glass played in 63 games and started 9 for the Minutemen. Coach Lonergan said he's very excited to have Glass join the UVM family and looks forward to coaching him in the coming seasons. 

UMass is in the A-10 (Atlantic 10) conference, which is regarded as a stronger and more competitive league than America East. One might think that Glass, who has played in the A-10 would be able to become a star at UVM. However, the Catamounts have had experience with incoming transfers who don't exactly pan out - Maurice Joseph (MoJo).  

I won't go into all the details, but MoJo transfered from Michigan State, and now doesn't even start for the Cats. I hope UVM hasn't acquired another no show. 

It's worth noting that players who leave the program seem to end up moving to more competitive leagues - Joe Trapani to Boston College & Jordan Clarke to Drake. 

But don't worry Matt, no pressure.
