Coach Glas on<br />
RYPKEMA:<br />
“Todd came on like gang busters last year and<br />
we expect that same kind <strong>of</strong> progress from<br />
him again this year and have a great s<strong>en</strong>ior<br />
year. We need a great year from Todd. He is<br />
a key to our success down low, because if he<br />
can be an unstoppable force down there and<br />
make people double-team him, that obviously<br />
op<strong>en</strong>s up our perimeter game. Todd has to be<br />
a force down inside. We expect him to have<br />
a great year.”<br />
