Morris: You try to get a kid from out there now, and he's been committed since he was a freshman
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) May 26, 2015
Morris: We can build our team from down here (SoFLA) and feel like we're doing pretty good. Would be nice to get one of those CA kids, tho
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) May 26, 2015
Morris: Most of our players are from 2 hours away. Our entire lineup. So, we work hard and get good guys from down here.
