BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- The Red and Blue game is a little more than a week away and the
Flyer Faithful are getting psyched for what promises to be a very intriguing 2016-17 season.
All the elements are there:
Potentially the winningest senior class in UD history
A big-time transfer in Josh Cunningham
A group of sophomores prepared to make a major impact
It’s a shame that Kostas Antetokounmpo has to sit out a year, but that just makes next year’s recruiting class all that much stronger.
Most importantly for the program:
Archie Miller is starting his sixth season at the Flyer helm
‘Nuf said.
