Opening Remarks by Coach Rose
I think we’re excited about the start of the year, to have an opportunity to see where we are, and to see some new faces on the other side of the net, and to get into main gym, and to see where this collection of people are at this time. We have a new roster of players, but a lot of times the expectations are really high, and I don’t see why we shouldn’t continue to have high expectations. They are a lot of unknowns when you’re playing with so many young people, and I think one of the exciting things about coaching is to see how that comes together.
Question: How much have you seen from the freshman so far, adjusting to the college life and the college game.
Coach Rose: It’s hard to say how they’ve adjusted to college life because they’ve only had class for one day, but I they all said they went to class yesterday and they all showed up to practice. But I think the things that they don’t know is the part that you can only hold out hopes that they’re going to be able to adjust. You can identify the challenges that are going to be out there — how demanding the conference is traditionally; how tough it is to play on the road; how good the teams are and how talented they are. But there’s a lot to be said for young people that have a good skillset and have a winning tradition themselves where they came from, and they came to Penn State because they want to continue the success that we’ve had. I think all of the freshmen have made a point that they’re here for a good reason.
