NICE TRIB ARTICLE

Nice article about the team. This quote from Beran is a great mantra for the team:

When we’re on the road, it’s us versus 18,000. When we’re in the huddle, we say, ‘We all we got but we all we need.’”

I'm sure it was a strong temptation for these guys to test the portal, but glad they stuck around for each other and for the program. A special group of players indeed.

I'm sure it was a strong temptation for these guys to test the portal, but glad they stuck around for each other and for the program. A special group of players indeed.

In the article Beran talked about people wanting him to test the portal:

While internally the obstacles were seen as motivation, friends and family questioned the trio’s loyalty to a program that wasn’t winning. Beran remembers people trying to persuade him to leave the Wildcats.

“I had people back home, I’m not going to call them out, but they’d ask, ‘Why don’t you want to go in the (transfer) portal?’” he said. “I had full belief in our team. I didn’t want to go to another program and just jump on. It really wouldn’t mean anything. I want to go to the dance with this team.
