COACH WILSON: Thanks. Great to see you guys. Look like are we still awake here? Got the warm-up bands out of the way. Everybody good to go? Again, were ready to get rolling, cranking up practice a week from today. As just stated, we do have a lot of guys returning as we start year four. Weve played a lot of freshmen, 16 now, four seasons ago, and those guys have kind of matured into a little bit more of a veteran-laden squad. Very excited about those guys. Weve got a little bit more depth across the board. Offensive line, defensive line, skilled guys, et cetera. Very pleased the last couple years with our recruiting efforts and the ways those things have picked up on paper. And with the new rules this year, was very excited to have a chance to work with our freshmen in summer and not really for the football side but just to watch those guys run around, see those freshmen players, see who was in shape, who would compete, who could bend, change directions, et cetera. And very, very pleased now having had those guys in summer, I think even with so many returning players, we have a number of freshman that I would anticipate to being in the mix to compete and play this year. I think its noted, our deal is always constant, consistent daily improvement. As we went through winter, into spring, and now summer, I feel very comfortable as we report next week. Were coming in stronger. Were coming in healthy. I have no medical issues with our current team. Academically, setting a great state, and weve been off the charts with our academics with our guys. So really like the direction the teams going, and really getting ready and prepared to have an outstanding preseason. Well need one.
