“It means a lot, Wisconsin, Camp Randall, it means so much to me. To see the players respond to me and what my messaging is and the confidence that I am trying to pour into them, it means so much and coming back for homecoming, so many alumni back in town and seeing the support that I have from them, friends, family, coaches, you name it.”
- Leonhard on the growth of the team since he took over
“I think we’re seeing a lot of growth, we had a young inexperienced team, a lot of guys stepping up into different roles or transitioning into the program from other places, where I knew we had to learn a lot about this group early on in the season and we found out a ton and it’s good to see their response - we’re getting better, the effort has been there and now you’re seeing a little bit better execution, which is how we got the win here today.
