XVII, sounds like you have a lot of insight on the team.  So you think the blame rests on the "leadership"?  I also am curious how Simmons can come back, isn't he listed as a senior?  I am not familiar enough with the situation to know and it sounds like you are.
How do you think RPI will be next year?  Will the leadership be better? Who will step up?  Looking at the stats, Zullo & Kowalcyk are the next leading scorers, at 8.5 & 8 ppg.  Both of them are seniors, so who can score besides Simmons?

Interesting points FLYZ5, I guess the question is why are those players leaving?  And the other is how do you have so many players and not have much help for Simmons?  And, I guess, if he really didn't have any real help like many other teams in the LL but still did what he did, maybe he should have been POY.

Are there any RPI posters with insight?

XVII-I was thinking more along the lines of fallout from RPI itself...

Gordon and Rourke were the 2 I was thinking of, I don't know korbas.  Looking at next year, I think SLU stays really tough, as does Hamilton.  I think Hobart gets better, as does Union, RPI, if they get simmons back will be in the mix, but I think they need more, as does clarkson if they want to stay in the top 4.  I think Vassar falls back into the mix after being upper level the last few years.  It will be interesting to see if Skidmore gets any better after having a full year with the new coach

will rpi have any fallout from the ineligible player situation?  Also, didn't they lose some other players this year too?
Who are the underclassmen guards?
Simmons is a good start, but if they couldn't get into the playoffs with 3 senior guards, what do they have coming up?

I think Union will be much better next year too
