jhu06 posted some good forward looking questions (listed below) on John Hopkins 2021
Offseason questions
1. Who is the coach next year
2. What changes are coming to the coaching staff
3. What srs return
4. what underclassmen/recruits leave
5. what transfers come in
6. Can the vaunted recruits displace veterans
7. Does the staff view 2-4 as growing pains or do underachieving players lose jobs.
8. epsteins recovery
9. what happens to the unplayed portion of this years schedule for example do the games not played at homewood stay as home games next year and so on.
10. Last years offseason narrative was overhaul everything, what is this years?
11. who is in net/first midfield/ssdm/d.
2. None
3. I have no info but my hunch is not many seniors return. Maybe Lyne because he had already missed so much time throughout his career and was finally seeing the field in 2020. Williams, Smith, and Colwell are the three to watch.
4. Probably none that would have made a difference
5. Absolutely no clue—I've heard that we have reached out to one or two of the goalies in the portal but don't know if the interest is mutual.
6. Brendan Grimes is a day one starter. Other potential contributors off the top of my head: McDermott, Bauer, Smith, Raposo, Peshko, Martin, Chauvette
7. I've stopped trying to predict this staff's personnel decisions
8. Assuming everything starts on time, Epstein will be 8 months removed from his injury when fall ball begins and about a year when the regular season starts. If there are no setbacks he should be 100% for 2021, which of course drastically changes things on the offensive side of the ball.
9. My guess is the unplayed games flip locations just to make things easier and stick to the usual schedule. Unlikely but perhaps in all this chaos they find a way to get UVA back on the docket
10. Narrative will be—this is the most talented freshman class in a long time. If they can't win with these guys, they can't win
11. F if I know
