End of Spring - Start of Off-Season

We wrapped up Spring Ball with a flurry trying to beat the rainy weather. Going three days in a row was a big challenge for our guys as the move closer to the end of the semester academic challenges that St. Olaf provides for them. Not one of our guys complained or lost the enthusiasm that they displayed all spring.

It was a great spring for our team. We got better. A lot of young guys that will need to step up in the fall started doing that very thing this spring. There is a hunger and willingness to compete against each in order to get better to a much greater extent than we have had in the past. To say the least, I was very proud of the effort and improvement from our team this spring.

The challenge for our guys and the 46 incoming freshmen will be to maintain that intensity as we head out for the summer. Once again, Coach Stern has put together a very challenging summer workout program for our young men. It won't be hard to tell which guys did the work when they report on August 14.

Here is the breakdown by state of the recruiting class:
23 - Minnesota
14 - Florida
1 each from:
Texas, Washington, Oklahoma, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, Massachusetts and California
