Head Coach James Cooper on Wheeler: "He is a big strong physical kid with a lot of pop in his bat. He has a football background, he was the starting linebacker at his high school, so toughness won't be an issue with him. We believe that he can be a middle of the order type guy and a really solid defender in the outfield. Nick has a really good arm and good instincts in the outfield. Nick also comes from the White Sox ACE program and plays at one of the top high schools in the Chicago area, so we believe he will be polished and ready to compete as a true freshman. I'm very excited about him and his family joining the Grambling Tiger Baseball Nation."
Cooper on Nunez: "Caleb has the size and arm strength to emerge as a significant contributor for this Tiger ball club as a true freshman. With a fastball that's from 86-88, the sky is the limit to how good Caleb can be. He has an advanced curveball, a good feel for pitching, and changing speeds. He has a tall, strong build with a lot of upside and room to fill in. He's an intense competitor with outstanding mound present. We are excited and feel good about adding him to our pitching staff. We're very excited about him and his family joining the Grambling Tiger Baseball Nation as well.
