Quoting Coach Pflugrad: "I think Kavario could be a special player for us this season. He joined us late in fall camp and is was tough for him to catch up and learn the playbook and adjust to new surroundings and to new teammates. He's come in and fit in well and he's found a home in Missoula. He worked hard this spring and really improved his overall game."
