John Groce conversation part 2

So you have four scholarship guys returning - only three who played last year, plus Rayvonte who has been sitting out - I guess you're obviously looking to those guys to lead the team?

Yeah, we'll see whether they can handle it or not. I hope they can. I know that Tracy and Nnanna did a really good job I think as captains in year one - those guys return. But this is going to be a little bit different for them. As soon as you add or delete one player, I've always said that the dynamic of any team changes. And the more additions and deletions you have in any organization, company, or team, there comes a learning curve.
