'Diggers Pen 19 Recruits on Signing Day/P>
GOLDEN, Colo. – The Colorado School of Mines football team signed 19 scholarship players to national letters of intent on February 6. The Orediggers went 7-4 in 2001 under second year head coach Bob Stitt, as the team finished fifth in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. The 2001 season marked the most Mines wins since 1958 and the first winning record since 1991 for the Orediggers.
"The success of this years team has allowed us to go out and sign kids that in our first and second years here, we wouldnt have been able to go out and recruit," Stitt said. "This recruiting class is the next step in our plan of becoming a championship football team."
