BURLINGTON, Vt. - University of Vermont men's basketball senior Marqus Blakely (Metuchen, N.J.) has been named to the CollegeInsider.com Preseason Mid-Major All-America Team. The web site released the 25-members today, as Blakely is the only player from the America East to be honored.

The only returning player in the nation to have won his conference player of the year award in each of the last two seasons, Blakely earns a spot on CollegeInsider.com's preseason team for a second straight season. He was also named to the America East Preseason All-Conference Team early this year.

Rather than assembling first, second, third and fourth team squads, the collegeinsider.com Mid-Major All-America team is one team consisting of 25 players and honorable mentions. Division I coaches and NBA scouts are part of the selection process, but final decision rests with the collegeinsider.com staff.

Blakely and the Catamounts open the 2009-10 season tonight against Loyola at 7 p.m.
