I also am very excited for next year's team. There will be the question of where the scoring will come from to replace all the lost senior production, but our defense should be among the best in the country. To replace the scoring, some players will need to step up, and a couple freshmen will need to be immediate contributors. I am optimistic that this can happen though; just look at the growth in production from players like Marrello and Gornall. No one would have expected those contributions, but Coach Smith has proven to me that he can develop players.
As of now, RPI is planning on opening in the Fall and competing athletically, but I would not be surprised if they start with no fans allowed at the games. It would be unfortunate, but I will take any type of season given to us.
