Fuente and "his" players:

I am always wondering this, what is the turning point for this team? A lot of people pointed out that the "after Duke" is the time, and Fuente took blame in front of the players.

My perspective is slightly different. This year is the 4th year of Fuente era, almost finally, he has all the players recruited by him now playing for him. Both offensively and defensively, there are so many of them make big plays in this season. Hendon Hooker, Dax, Dalton Keene, Caleb Farley, Garbutt, Ashby, Tre Turner, Tisdale, Darrisaw, just to name a few.

As everyone witness the transfer portal earlier this year, I think Fuente now has the players buying in his team philosophy, the whole team refreshed its blood. If we look back at 2017 and 2018 recruiting classes. Those are a good amount of 4 stars and high 3 stars, and they are maturing and become solid players for us. Given that they are still relatively young, the future is even brighter.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
