Burning Questions: After losing literally all of their top scorers, where is the offense going to come from? Are any of the incoming freshmen going to be able to be immediate offensive contributors?

He Said It: "We expect it to be 'scoring by committee,' but we also want to take a big step forward individually. I'm talking about David Wohlberg, Chris Brown, A.J. Treais and Luke Glendening, our captain this year." - Berenson
