Yet the freshmen won’t be making the transition alone.
“[The upperclassmen] have been great,” Rose said. “They’ve really done a great job of welcoming us and creating a family atmosphere among the entire team.”
“The freshmen really pick up on the mentality of the upperclassmen every single year,” Vaughan said. “So the juniors and seniors have a big hand in framing the mentality of the freshmen class.”
The better the transition for the freshmen, the more likely that the Crimson will be able to live up to its high expectations.
“We’re hungry, as a team and the coaching staff as well,” Rose said. “We’re going to make some noise this year.”
