Freshman Chris Rogers had originally signed to play baseball at UGA, but transferred to GSU because "it's just a great opportunity and it doesn't matter what the situation is, Coach VanGorder gave me a chance, so I had to take it" Rogers said.

"I think Travis [Clark] has established himself as a leader right now, but again we want to encour- age competition" VanGorder explained. With a completely different coaching staff, new players and other guys changing positions, training camp is where VanGorder and Henshaw want to get back to basics by setting an ag- gressive tempo during practice and stressing fundamentals.
