We recruit freshmen in the fall, using the same process, only a little easier. We do our best to take most applicants, but, honestly, some do not make it for a 2nd or 3rd or 4th year.
Yeah, I'm considering implementing a system similar to that next year. I think 25 is a good number for a team. Thanks for the idea!
