Said head coach Mike Fleck upon his signing: "Aidan came here as a transfer from Baylor and had great success as a junior. He's a hard worker and an awesome young man. I think as he continues to get his footing under him and get more comfortable, we're going to see more and more good stuff from Aidan. When his good is good, it's really good. He's a super talented young man that I expect will push his way up the roster and challenge guys ahead of him."
