TimmySmith Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Considering a coaching change and players bailing because of that, I think we did the best we could. It's going to take DJ a couple of good recruiting classes and having some winning seasons to get a great recruiting class in here. Finishing the new athletic facility will help also. Getting a healthy dose of WCAC guys every year is going to get the snowball rolling. You can't get every DeMatha, GC and St. John's kid, but you have to get 5-6 at least to get word of mouth out there. Plus, you have to win. No way around that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 In watching Durkin's press conference I believe Pigrome will get every opportunity to win the job. Good. This season could be rough again getting the system and mindset in place. Rather see these guys take their lumps now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) http://maryland.247sports.com/Bolt/Maryland-Signee-Tyrrell-Pigrome-a-First-Team-Parade-All-American-43513261 Maryland Signee Tyrrell Pigrome a First-Team Parade All-American Freshly signed Maryland quarterback recruit Tyrrell Pigrome was named a first-team Parade All-American on Friday. Pigrome, an ultra-athletic 5-foot-10 dual-threat quarterback, earned the honors as an 'athlete' rather than a quarterback. Leading his Clay-Chalkville (Ala.) team to the state finals for the second consecutive year, Pigrome accounted for 62 touchdowns as a senior -- 44 through the air and 18 on the ground. He threw four interceptions, ran for 1,349 yards and passed for 3,080 more, earning Gatorade state player of the year honors. Entering a quarterback situation with far more questions than answers, Pigrome could compete for the starting spot immediately in new offensive coordinator Walt Bell's dynamic, fast-paced attack. “I think he’ll be a household name around here real soon,” Maryland coach D.J. Durkin said Wednesday. "I can’t tell you how happy we are with how that worked out with [Pigrome]." Another Terps signee, Damascus (Md.) running back Jake Funk, earned honorable mention honors after setting state records for touchdowns in a season and in a championship game (seven). Funk has already enrolled at Maryland. Edited February 5, 2016 by BRAVEONAWARPATH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forehead Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Getting a healthy dose of WCAC guys every year is going to get the snowball rolling. You can't get every DeMatha, GC and St. John's kid, but you have to get 5-6 at least to get word of mouth out there. Plus, you have to win. No way around that. Dematha and Good Counsel, yes. Does St. John's have any history of being good? I know occasionally they'll have a player or two, but I'd swap them for Gonzaga. The WCAC is pretty talented, that wouldn't be a bad base to start from. I don't know how well MD would ever be able to get into Ohio, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey for top recruits, not with Ohio State and Penn State, and to some degree, Michigan (not to mention the occasional Alabama poach, etc.) but I think MD could make a run at competing with Virginia Tech for talent in the tidewater VA region. Combine that with the WCAC, and the inroads Durkin is trying to make in Florida, and you have some serious potential.

@DCGoldPants Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Pennsylvania and Ohio would be nice to get strong classes from. But South to Florida would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportjunkie07 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Yeah it would be great if MD blew teams out and it would help them in tourney seating. But 20-3? I'll take it. This team still has time to reach a very high ceiling. I imagine the team will come together a bit more over the next few weeks and we'll see some blowouts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 According to @LetTeddyWin the Nationals will bring back their rivalry day but have MD and PSU instead of VA and VT. It's less of a rivalry than the latter, and MD and PSU doesn't really "scream" rivalry But damn it I'll sign up for a special MD ticket so I can get whatever they're giving away lol Go MD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Big game today. I expect a nail biter as Purdue is no slouch at 19-4. Just to put it out there, a close one here is expected. Although I'll be concerned if they come out the gate sloppy. That's a trend Id like to see go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long n Left Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Just to put it out there, a close one here is expected. Although I'll be concerned if they come out the gate sloppy. That's a trend Id like to see go away. Came outta the gate good today, 18 in the first 9 minutes. Problem is, same Ole Terps: ugly offensive sets, terrible shooting, and shot selection, adds up to 9 points in final 11 minutes. Every offensive set, there are at least 2 guys standing motionless while Melo dribbles out front to 15 seconds on the shot clock. I don't need a motion offense, but if I see Jake just stand in the corner for 20-25 seconds every set, I may blow a gasket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) Another big win on the resume. Good free throw shooting at the end. Purdue was eating us up inside, but had nothing outside. Non conference game against Bowie St. next. Free Chik fil a for everyone!

BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Josh Stirn@Josh_Stirn Maryland beats Purdue by 11 points with Melo Trimble and Jake Layman going 2-of-15 from the field.
