"We were able to secure ten recruits that will give us depth at many positions, as well as challenge for playing time right away. This incoming class is incredibly bright on and off the field and we have every confidence that they will uphold our team virtues and core values when they join our family this fall. Furthermore, they are a huge building block toward achieving our team goals and aspirations of capturing the A10 title and building a NCAA contender here at VCU."
