photo Thompson on Corace: We picked up Brandon late in the recruiting process, but I think he will become the diamond in the ruff we expected. After seeing Brandon compete more this summer and seeing his ranking soar upward, I am confident that Brandon will make a major contribution to this team. He will have to adjust to school and develop the love for practice which he has for matches and I feel he could become an All-American in our Program. His game reminds me of Adam Marchetti and I expect Brandon to have a great career at Tech.
