Young Decides to Seek Other Options

Former Catamount is changing schools.
April 29, 2010 – Sometimes things don’t
go as scripted, and end before initially plan. Such is the case with sophomore
guard Garvey Young’s tenure at the University of Vermont, as he’s
officially announced plans to transfer.
The 6’4”, 190 pound guard from Washington, DC averaged 7.4
points and 4.0 rebounds per game last season for the Catamounts, earning
selection to the American East All-Defensive and Tournament teams in the
process; Young was the team’s defensive stopper. This trails a high
school career where he scored over 1900 points and led the team each of
four years at Georgetown Prep (MD). Showing athletic versatility, Young
was also a celebrated soccer player in high school.

Desire for greater proximity to his family is cited as a reason for leaving
Vermont, according to a source, as well as an opportunity to develop his
complete game.
No future destination has been determined, and Young leaves Vermont in
good standing academically –his GPA is around 3.0 – and with
that team’s coaching staff. “I am very sad that Garvey has
decided to leave UVM, but understand the circumstances surrounding his
decision” said Vermont head coach Mike Lonergan via official statement.
