from Sean Leahy of NBC Sports,
Q. What was it about the 8-3 finish that gives you encouragement heading into this season?
LARKIN: “When we finished the season the young players that were producing at the level that they were, obviously, it’s a small sample size and some people will call them meaningless games, but when you have the guys that we have that could be the young core of our team playing like that, it’s just excitement for myself, for our fanbase, for our staff, for us in the locker room.
