Opening statement:
“[Today is the] first official day of practice with the four hours a week that you can work with them in the summer. It’s a big change from last year. Compared to last year, we’re so far ahead of what we’ve been able to put in and the relationships we’ve developed with the guys. It’s been really good. I love the work ethic of the team, the athleticism, the talent, the comradery – it’s all good. These kids have been great to work with and we’re excited about the whole season. My staff has done a great job.
