Class of 2019 student-athletes adjust during preseason

By Emily Wechsler | September 8, 2015

We’ve heard it before: to be the best, you’ve got to work harder, arrive earlier and stay later. Recruited athletes have proved they can do this, but they don’t stop when they sign their National Letter of Intent.
