Coach Dickson on Vetrano: "I think Greg had areally good season last year and proved to be a quality point guardin this league. Greg's assist to turnover ratio was outstanding andhe is extremely hard to guard - he showed that he can both scorethe ball and while also being a creative playmaker. Greg needs onlyto take a few short steps to move into the upper echelon of pointguards in the Northeast 10 - we think he will."
