“It has been a lot of hard work but I think our coaches have done a great job of going out and finding the personnel that we need,†said head coach Mike Ayers. “The guys we recruited we feel very good about academically as well as athletically. We think they are all kids that are going to be able to add to our program. There are some needs that have been met in a few positions that we deemed very important for us. We feel good where we are at right now.â€
