Vann drafted fifth

Congratulations to Chris Vann.

The former Mountie, who we know has been aching to play more hoops, was selected fifth in the ethnic draft of the Korean Basketball League yesterday. He was selected by the KTF Magic-Wings, who call Busan, South Korea home.

Vann finished second on the Mount in scoring on last year's NEC championship team.

We wish Vann well and hope to keep tabs on his professional career here at the FanBlog. We know he'll be raining down jumpers on the KBL soon.

About theMountFanBlog

The Mount FanBlog is hosted by Ryan Raffensperger, a sports fan of all types and a Mount Basketball fan forever.

Raffensperger has loved the Mount as long as he can remember, which basically means 1981 - and remembers the true #GloryDays of Memorial Gym. He remembers the players from those days to the athletes who play at Knott Arena today. And if it's a #MountMayhem day, it's going to be a good day.

He holds a Syracuse University degree in broadcast journalism. He has broadcast high school, college & minor league levels of all sports in his past and regularly covered high school football for his hometown paper. So the blog does make a little sense.

Raffensperger worked professionally as a CPA for many years, but the chronic inflammatory immune disease Sarcoidosis made it impossible to continue that in a manner he found acceptable. Since then, he has spent more time around the Mount St. Mary's basketball program and values Coach Dan Englestad, his staff, and the players' impact on him. The blog was much more active, but the advent of Twitter (follow @themountfanblog) has made writing a little less important. But he hopes that the balance swings back in favor of more traditional content soon.
