HEAD COACH TOM STONE:
"What's nice about this class is how involved all of our coaches were. This class is a nice combination of what all of us saw out on the field and then brough to each other on film. That's been a fun collaboration. I've got such a smart group of coaches, and they know exactly what Red Raider Soccer needs to look like. And we're not going to go off script to find someone that we don't think fits off the field academically or on the field. They need to be all in, in all those categories. So that's been fun with this class, but the most important this is the fill need. Some classes you're loading up at specific positions because of people graduating. There's need here. This class was told they have a real chance to make a difference as a freshman which is a unique opportunity on a pretty good team. You don't always get that right away. Sometimes you're waiting. And these guys don't have to wait. If they do what we think they can do they can make a splash as a freshman, and get their opportunity to show our fan base and coaches and more importantly their teammates what they're made of."
