Hilton Armstrong is transferring? He played at Peekshill High with Rashard Turner didn't he? Is he looking to go to an America East school or higher?

I can't gage what really will happen with Hilton Armstrong.
He only averaged about 10 to 15 minutes a game last season.
Now considering UCOnn is bringing in Ed Nelson(Georgia Tech transfer Pf or Center) Ryan Thompson a 6-7 juco forward and possibly Charlie Villanueva, where will Hilton get minutes?
I think he is over his head at UConn and should transfer to Atlantic 10 school. With Vermont being as good as any programs in the A-10 right now with the exception of Temple, Dayton and Xavier, Vermont could offer him an NCAA tournament bound program with excellent academics and caring coaches. No Vermont coach is evil like Jim Calhoun. Vermont doesn't overrecruit. Plus, with Sheftic and Jones graduating after Hilton's year sitting out, he could potentially complement Coppenrath with a low post threat. Patrick Filein is a well renowned big man coach. He did an excellent job last season.

Let's be careful with the statement of "Vermont being as good as any programs in the A-10 right now..." I still believe that the Boston University team that lost against UVM in the America East Championship was THE BETTER TEAM, and I wouldn't say that B.U. was as good as any A-10 team. The Atlantic 10 Conference in RPI ranking is still way ahead of the America East. The weakest team in the Atlantic 10 is probably Fordham (that's precisely why BU's Coach Wolff didn't take the offer), and I bet they will be a tough contender against any top America East team, including Vermont.

Dayton, Xavier, Temple and other would smack Vermont. Norhteastern will be the most talented team in the AE next year. They probably won't win it because of chemistry problems. Marcus Barnes will be the best player. NOt even close. He is much much better than little T.J.!
