"The current morale is very high and we are working the hardest I think I've ever seen since I've been here," said Beaver freshman point guard Rickey Claitt. "Last year was a learning year for everyone; this upcoming season will be the year we put two and two together and win."
There's no doubt that there's a new attitude in the program, but there will be much anticipation to see how much difference that new attitude will make for a school coming off its worst season in the history of the program. We all know Robinson isn't likely to take kindly to losing, but it won't be easy as the Beavers will face some of the most respectable names in college basketball on the fronts of their opponents' jerseys next season.
Even in one of the toughest conferences in the country, Robinson has made it clear that he will not just be another name on a long list of coaches who "tried" to make a difference for Oregon State basketball.
