Now if every recruit's parents had this attitude: “It was her freshman year last year and we felt like we needed to support her because everybody talks about how hard the freshman year is so we just wanted to be there and be involved,” Bethany Irwin said. “With something like this, you just want to catch as much as you can and when they offered her here, it was very humbling and our goal was to always stress to her that it is not about the playing time, it is about the journey you are going to take and she really wanted to learn who she was as a person. That is why we stressed that you aren’t in charge of the minutes but just enjoy it and find out who you really are. She really kind of shined, she loves the game, loves supporting (her teammates) and her time will come when they are ready for her."
