INSIDE MICHIGAN ATHLETICS
" We're extremely excited about
this 2015 class, not only the level
of athlete that is coming in but the
fact that the class adds tremendous
depth to our team. We only gradu-
ated one player in 2014, and this
class brings depth in our defensive
specialist/libero role, they bring
depth in our outside hitting role,
our middle blocker and setting roles,
which is something we needed.
"I think they all have an opportu-
nity to come in and compete from
the very first day, not only to add
depth but to get on the floor and
make us more competitive." — Michi-
gan volleyball coach Mark Rosen on
his recruiting class of Maddy Abbott,
Cori Crocker, Jenna Lerg and Carly Sk-
jodt
THEY SAID IT
Michigan hockey head coach Red Berenson
on the challenge that confronts 18- to 22-year-old
college athletes
"A good player is an average player without
confidence and is a great player with confidence."
