“You know over the next three days it is a chance for some of the newcomers to be able to express what their journey has been, some of the highs and some of the lows. It is a time for all of our players to come together and really get a better sense of who we are and our path to Memphis,” Coach Norvell said.

Coach Norvell also says he is also grateful to hop on I-40 and be able drive to another Memphis campus, along with the experience and hospitality the campus offers.
