“Once again we feel we have done very well with our recruiting class,” Costanzo said. “Of course, time will tell. They will be needed to continue to take this program to the highest level and I can’t wait to watch them compete.”

"The incoming class is going to have a great impact on our team," said Wilson. “The coaching staff is excited to get started and see them make their mark in our program."
