Gannon is the PSAC program finding its rhythm under Erik Raeburn's patient six-year tenure, a Head Coach who chose to stay and build rather than chase bigger jobs.
Gannon doesn't get top-tier recruits because it's not Alabama or Michigan. But Erie-area boys who stay close to home and play for Raeburn's system? They win.
The Knights polish their armor.
