Nick Faust Cuts List to Four, Includes Terps

Who needs Maurice Harkless when you have Nick Faust?
Okay, maybe Maryland doesn't have the four-star Baltimore shooting guard, but it appears that they have a pretty good shot. And it looks even better now that Faust has officially cut his list, and the most imposing team on the last one - Louisville - is now gone. The Terps, of course, still remain.
(Props to chrisp. I'm actually in L'ville this weekend, so I appreciate the help).
Basketball Schedule Released
And here is a write up from UMTerps.com on the schedule.
Some quick thoughts, with more later tonight. One stretch in January is really brutal - @Duke, @Wake, @Villanova, Va. Tech. Ouch. That's a kick in the shorts. The Wake game shouldn't be too hard, but three straight on the road, only to come back home and have to face Va. Tech? Yikes. As I said, we'll have more insight on the schedule later tonight. Until then, take joy in the fact that we're only a month and a half away from basketball season!

Only four more days folks. Then we can start forgetting about 2-10. But for now, we can concentrate all of our worrying on this
Ferra Still Hurt; Baltz May Start at Kicker in Opener
Ugh, not good. The good news is that Baltz can hit from about 42 consistently, but that's still not perfect. -BB
The Diamondback - Midshipmen's offense not lacking options
Just tackle everyone guys.

Still a great story. -BB

4 Til Kickoff: Maryland's Latest Trend of Defections

Maryland football has a lot to overcome in the first place. Just look at their record last year. Throw on a kicking game uncertainty and a few dozen injuries, and Ralph Friedgen's work is cut out for him as it stands right now. Throw in a few academic casualties onto the pile, and it gets pretty ugly.
Some of that stuff's not avoidable. Injuries will happen. The kicking game is a bad sign, but there's not a lot a coach can do about that. The record is a long-term problem. But academic or program casualties can usually be avoided, at least somewhat. So why haven't they been?
ESPN Fast-Forwards a Few Months, Previews ACC Basketball

Football's back in less than a week, but basketball is still the big dog on the horizon. And it's a lot closer than you might think (only a month and a half away from Maryland Madness!). ESPN helps remind us of this with their Summer Shootaround series, which has been going around previewing each conference (far too early).
They hit on the ACC today, and its a great way to spend a few minutes. Jay Bilas, who is the only Dukie you should actually like, predicted Maryland at 5th in the conference, behind this year's Big Three of Duke, UNC, and VT, plus North Carolina State. That should be enough to get into the tournament, as long as the Terps can pull out at least one decent OOC win (Temple, Pitt).
(Oh, and I just realized that Charlotte NC Terp has had this posted like an hour before me. As always, props and thanks.)
Maryland Minute - 08.31.10 - Is Navy a BCS Team?

A lot more to read about today than the past few days. We're only 5 days away from the start of our football season. I really hope we can beat Navy. But according to Steward Mandel, he thinks Navy could go undefeated. I disagree.

I'm not the biggest Mandel fan, but here is his story on Navy. It's a good read, but I really think Navy's perfect season dream could end by 7:00 PM Monday.

Great piece discussing the MD-Navy series and how the two programs have shifted from when they last met in 2005.

The one area the Terps haven't had the injury bug...please stay that way.

Welcome back to Maryland, Josh. I hope you can fill in for Foxworth. Our defensive backfield is turning into the Terps circa 2004-2005. Now if the Ravens could go get Vernon Davis and DHB, I'd be really happy!
5 Til Kickoff: The ACC's Getting Better and Better

We've heard it a lot: if it wasn't for the Big East, the ACC would be the worst BCS football conference by a wide margin. Heck, maybe even with them. It makes sense, right? Only one BCS bowl victory, just about nothing in terms of nationally competitive teams, and a very average, basketball-oriented core.
Just one thing: that might be changing. Well, at least being the worst football conference. Within the past year, it's become apparent that several ACC teams are on their way up in the world, and might be prepared to enter (or re-enter) the national elite.
I had an idea to do this earlier in the summer, but held off, mostly because not everything was clear at the time. But it's pretty obvious now: the ACC is on the brink of graduating up a tier when it comes to BCS conferences. Bye-bye, Big East; hello Pac-10.
Of course, that does actually mean something for Maryland, too; it's a lot easier to rise up in a conference when there aren't traditional powers holding you down. That's how Wake Forest got into a BCS bowl, after all; the ACC hasn't had a truly dominant team, with the occasional exception of VT, since expansion. The window, however, may be narrowing.
Don't just take my word for it. Look at each of the teams and what's going on; it's pretty clear. (By the way, this counts as my conference preview. Love it, baby).
Devonte Campbell Out for Opener, Maryland to Face Navy With Two Healthy Tight Ends

You know the story by now. Devonte Campbell, Maryland's starting tight end, has a concussion and then injures his knee. Lansford Watson, Maryland's #2 tight end, is out for the year. Will Yeatman, perhaps the Terps' third option, broke his finger and will be out for at least a few weeks.
Just like that, Maryland's tight end position is robbed of all of its depth, and two unproven options - sophomore Matt Furstenburg and freshman Dave Stinebaugh - have been the only tight ends healthy all fall. The hope was that Campbell could return to play in time for the Navy game, but per Jeff Barker, he's now officially been ruled out for Monday's opener.
