MBB: Liberty League

[stlawus]

Basketball season is quickly approaching. Union College is scheduled to play it's opener against Plattsburgh St. on November 11th at home. Other highlights of the Garnet schedule include an appearance in the NYU Tip Off Classic where they'll face Elite 8 participant Tufts and the host Violets and a trip to Las Vegas where they'll face Worcester St and powerful Rhodes College.  https://unionathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule

Union will return 4 of 5 starters with the biggest news being that Liberty League Player of the Year Jack Plesser will be back after initial concerns he'd be leaving when he declared for the transfer portal in March. Other than graduated senior Christian Dufort the other two members of Union's "big 4" return. PG Tanner Tedesco and clutch g Mathew Garside. PF Brendan Reid is back after missing all of last season to injury. On a down note 6'11" Scott Schmitt, who showed promise last year, will not return. Let's Go U

I guess it was worth just seeing what kind of interest he could get, but it never made much sense for Plesser to transfer.  Only a year of eligibility so that would be wonky in terms of credits and he doesn't shoot threes so his power forward profile doesn't translate much to the next level.  If he was 3 inches taller he'd be a really great d1 player.
