From his returners, Coach Kneeland is expecting leadership and experience. He is also excited to see how these players have progressed in their college seasons, and it is very rewarding to see them again. With Kneeland\u2019s new talent, he is hoping they will embrace the grind and be a good mix with the team, as they are coming in with a good mix of experience and youth.
