I have followed his career and been in contact with him over the years and I think he has done a great job with his coaching. I am very pleased that we can bring one of our former student-athletes back home. ???Devon brings a newness to us. It is a little different direction for me, bringing in someone that I didn???t know. He comes in with great recommendations and, coming from a different area, will broaden our recruiting base.???
