“It was a great, beautiful, flawless experience,” Proctor said. “Their honesty and realness is what pulls me in more. I would love to play for Coach (Joe) Sloan and Coach (Justin) Burke.
“What stood out to me is the facility and how the coaching staff and players are all locked in together and are like a family,” Proctor said. “It was a blessing to spend my day with the coaches and see around the city.”
