[Bobby] Okereke for another three, Tae Banks for four, and just got [Tyler] Nubin for four years,” Schoen said on Friday night. “You’ve got a young core group of players that will be able to be together for — and again, I know people want instant gratification, but it takes time to build this, and then over time, you have guys that are able to create continuity because they play together year over year.
