Part of the reason former Coastal Carolina shortstop Brian Pruett transferred to FGCU was to be closer to his home and family. When he arrived, Pruett found another family.
"The program is family orientated," Pruett said. "Coach Tollett is very down to earth and cares about the players. When that happens you get the best out of the guys."
Now donning the Blue and Green, Pruett will have to sit out the 2013-14 season due to NCAA transfer rules.
"This next whole semester I plan on being the best I can be and try to not let the time go to waste even though I'm not competing this year," Pruett said. "I can work out and get bigger, faster, and stronger."
When he returns following the spring semester and time playing summer ball up in Minnesota, the Sarasota native has high expectations for his time as an Eagle.
"I hope to come back in the fall and the spring and be a big time player on the roster, be a everyday starter and get to a regional and further," Pruett said.
During his freshman season at Coastal, Pruett started 57 of the Chanticleers' 59 games at shortstop and batted .400 during their NCAA regional.
So although fans won't see him turning double plays when the Eagles open their season February 14th against Rhode Island, there is no doubt Pruett is working hard to make the Eagles 'family' better.
