Wife and I appreciated Coach Mercer's invitation to hang out with the players and coaches at the second annual Fan Appreciation day on October 5. For us elders, it's always uplifting to chat with these talented, earnest young men.
I don't follow all the comings and goings of recruiting, transfers, and drafts. Seems like it's a new team every year, so we're always happy to find out that some of our familiar players are back on campus now. Some of the returning impact positions players who we ran into in the dugout include Andrew Wiggins, Jasen Oliver, Tyler Cerny, Josh Pyne, Devin Taylor, Joey Brenczewski, and Jake Stadler. That seems like a stout core to build around. Let's hope they're all in place and healthy when the Spring season starts.
