We taped a new Crossecast on Tuesday night on all things Petro.

In this episode Jake, Adam, myself, and special guest Chris Jastrzembski discussed Petro’s legacy at Hopkins, our favorite memories of him, and possible replacements. We also bantered about where we think it may have started to go wrong for coach Petro at JHU and his impact on the Hopkins and the sport as a whole. Moreover, we discussed the latest news in the transfer world and where we think some of the biggest names might land. Finally, we talked about the economic pressure that colleges and universities are under because of the COVID-19 crisis and how that might affect the 2021 season.
