Jim’s Thoughts on Keegan Rosenberry
“I think Keegan [Rosenberry] is the best rookie in our league right now. I think he has established himself as such, again, maybe he’s going to have to score goals because that’s what everybody loves to vote for is the goal scorer. But, he’s played every minute for us, he’s a warrior, he’s done well.”
