Region 2 men's basketball / Re: MBB: Little East

It appears that rosters are starting to trickle out, at least at Keene and Castleton, which means the season can't be far away.

With that in mind, here are (what I believe to be) the three most significant off-season developments in the Little East.

1. Brito's return to Keene State.
This one should be obvious. While they have a new coach, getting back a potential 1st team all-American is about as big of a boost as you could ask for. On top of that, Keene retained Siow-Jean Baptiste-Aronson-Odiase and brought in a few potential impact first years and transfers. The Little East still runs through Keene, NH.

2. Dartmouth's roster continuity.
Word out of southern Massachusetts is that Dartmouth's roster returns mostly intact. The Corsairs had one of the deeper perimeter units in the league last year and the potential return of Lopes-Boyd-Marcille-Percy-Leonard should have them near the top of the league standings. Add in Flauto and a full year of Dunbury and these guys could be really good.

3. Sanicola steps away from Southern Maine.
After a 3-year stint at Southern Maine, including back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in 30 years, Sanicola departed for a job in the G-League. That's a tough loss for a program that looked like it was starting to build something. It sounds like their roster is mostly intact and will be interesting to see how the group adjusts under their new head coach.

Things are quite elsewhere, but will be interesting to see if East Conn or UMass Boston can turn it around and what Coach Ferry was able to do with his first recruiting class at RIC.
