TEAM RESULTS
Fail has been busy on the recruiting trail and he’s just getting back into competitive level.
“I missed a lot of time because of recruiting visits,” Fail explained. “I went to Indiana, South Carolina and Arizona. “I loved the South Carolina campus and of course Arizona is an historic program. I need to talk a few things over with my family but I hope to have a decision this week.”
