It's always nice to score. Alabama A&M is a good team and it was great to not let them create many chances in the game. For us to be good in Conference USA, we need to excel on both sides of the ball.

Rick helps bolster our team both athletically and academically. I am excited to have a player of his caliber in our program. With the amount of club and ODP experience he has, he is going to quickly be ready to meet the demands of our program.

Ben is very creative when he has the ball. He is an intelligent player, and as he develops, he will be one that will allow us to keep possession of the ball. His club coach, Rob Weaver, has helped develop him as a player, and I feel confident taking any one of his players.
