Back at it again

The turnout was a strong one, with a mix of young players, veterans and newcomers on hand and all of them happy to be back together.

“I think it’s important for the camaraderie to get the team together,” said Ogunjobi. “Guys are all over the country training, but it’s good to come back, see some familiar faces, see some new ones and do what we love.

“It’s a great time to get acclimated, get together. We are finding out who is new, who is on the team. It really is a time to get acclimated. That’s the best thing about it. Guys are getting accustomed to the system, how things are working, the day-to-day things we have to do. Getting everything together.”

It’s only the beginning of the work for the black and gold, but the fact that so many of the players are working says it all.

“It shows the commitment,” said Pickett. “We have a young team, and we want to get better. If we continue to have that kind of commitment throughout the spring, it will springboard us into camp and that is what you want.”
