Recruiting, as is always the case, is going to be crucial for the Bruins this offseason, as Coach DeShaun Foster is looking to establish a foundation as he heads into his second year at the helm.

"I got a late start on the '25 class, but the talent that we got and being able to flip guys, that's pretty exciting," Foster said on the Dec. 4 National Signing Day. "It's just showing you what we could do once we really get in there. ... Recruiting is going to come. This is a great university. You got to want to come here. So, we just have to make it visible to guys and just let them know, like, coming around here, being around this program, and you will want to jump in."
