“We are disappointed how the season ended but we are excited for the future," Steele said. "As much as we would like to continue playing games, we decided that the best decision for the future of our program is to devote the extra allowable practice time in March to individual instruction. We have a very young team and our coaching staff is looking forward to the opportunity to work extensively with these guys, which is something we were not able to do this past spring and summer. We will have extended opportunities for development through the end of the current season and we plan to take full advantage of the time to improve individually and as a team.”
