philibusters Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Very strong recruiting class by Maryland, but on paper definitely stronger on the defense than offense. I'd give the defensive haul an A and the offensive haul maybe a B-. Next year they definitely need a good QB recruit and 4 or so solid O-Line prospects.

Long n Left Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Merry Christmas all. Hope you didn’t ask Santa for a Terps win today. I fear you’ll be disappointed. Purdue always seems to have some giants on their roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor shooting period, outside of Donta, who was unstoppable the second half. Think they’ve found their “go to” guy. Props to Reese Mona for coming on and picking the team up in the second half. Infused the energy that was missing until then. Purdue lost focus second half, thinking they’d coast to a win, and a better team would have gotten them, but, at least, this Maryland team showed some heart and tenacity. They’ll eke out a couple wins against teams they shouldn’t beat, but I’ll be surprised if they end up over .500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) I am always curious if these highly ranked recruits that Locksley is so good at getting, talk to the players who transfer from his program. The way the mess of a shortened/cancelled/whatever'd season went. Seems like he runs a undisciplined one. Good on him getting these players.

Many of the players who have transferred this off-season are doing so because they would be in for a battle to retain their positions next year....and they know it. I expect more transfers as the talent level increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Best I've seen Chol Marial play by far. Quick on and off his feet, looking conditioned. Defensively solid. The game is still very early but the team is playing way more energized. Helps when they actually hit a few shots too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long n Left Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Yup, they’ve come out with the energy they lacked early in the Purdue game. Playing much more determined on the defensive end. Big lack is ball handler/passer. Glad to see Smart getting more time, maybe he can be that guy. Made a nice drive and dish bringing the D to him for a splash 3 by Hamilton. Terps need more of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) This is a great game. Ayala is playing his best game of the year. Guys are moving the ball and playing with confidence. Limiting turnovers, cleaning up the glass. Praying they can win these final 6 minutes and pick up a huge road win. Did I mention guys are shooting the lights out?!?! Hamilton also having his best game of the year. Edited December 29, 2020 by abdcskins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long n Left Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Fantastic effort from these guys. Don’t forget to mention Wiggins either. Hasn’t looked for the spot up 3, but been taking it to the rack, playing solid defense, and rebounding. Superb all around game. They play this hard game in, game out, they’ve got a chance if their shots fall. Massive win for these kids. Hopefully give them the shot of confidence they’ll need in this tough conference. Great job gents! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 THAT IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. That Donta Scott dunk though...and that little under the basket stop and pivot for the layup. Came up gigantic down the stretch. I believe this may be the game that inspires Ayala and Wiggins to start playing as well as I know they can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With, possibly, two of the best high school LBs in the country coming in, playing time was gonna be hard for him to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long n Left Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Guys held tight by shooting lights out from 3 for most of the game, but with Morsell going out, and lack of inside presence, don’t think this ends well. The difference between these two teams is more than the players. Michigan is a much better coached team. Also, did Turgeon even recruit Hunter Dickinson? You’ve got a glaring weakness inside, and one of the best freshman bigs in the country comes right out of your backyard, and goes to a rival 600 miles away?

abdcskins Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Yeah we should have gone after Dickinson. He has abused us all night. Marial should have played more, he can potentially guard the rim. Maryland's lack of an interior presence is painfully obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
