  • A lot of dreams were filled today. That's something we have to continue.
  • Boe bleeds maroon and gold. He'll provide passion and nastiness upfront.
  • Aune literally did everything for Highland Park. Coaches at the high school all-start game were all very complimentary of him.
  • Once the season was over, it was a sprint for recruiting. Fleck said in a staff meeting after the season that the next three weeks would be three of the most important weeks in the history of the program, and the staff took that as a challenge.
  • The class has formed a brotherhood, but the way they connected during eLITe18 Palooza, you would have thought that they grew up together. They connected really well with the current players, too. It was special to watch as a coach.
  • Benny Sapp was the one who started it all. He believed in the vision in him as a player and for the rest of his life. He saw our belief in him, and for him to give that belief back in us set the tone for the rest of the recruiting class. He's already helping recruit for the 2019 class.
  • We don't like to "recruit" guys. We want to build genuine relationships. The relationship with Bateman is so much deeper than a football relationship, and he proved that by signing.
