"The guys all seemed to have put in a lot of effort on their games as well as their bodies over the summer and have really been working hard so far in practice."

Coach McCracken said, "Staying healthy will be our toughest issue, but I like our pieces and how they're coming together. Our biggest problem will be how players manage and accept their jobs since we have depth at every level."
