This class is the result of a lot of hard work and dedication to finding the type of players we need to push our program forward. I must give credit to having the opportunity to work with Carley Hrusovsky for being able to cover as much ground as we did and sign this exceptional group. Overall, I believe that each one of these players has an opportunity to make a real impact on our program"
