They really integrated them into the program and gave them a clear picture of what the culture should look like by example. These guys have been in the program for a number of years. They were not all first-year starters. They had to work their way up. They had to pay their dues. They sat on the bench and had to cheer their teammates on, and they have gotten their opportunities and they have not looked back. I could not be happier for them to see them out there battling, performing and playing well. They have so many qualities that just embody what we are all about.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nUP NEXT<br \/>\nThe Tritons finish the regular season across town at San Diego State next Saturday, Oct. 31.
