Recruiting Report: Many schools tracking Glenelg Country's Miles
Interesting fact about this 2012 recruit:
"Coach Ehsan came up and watched Isaiah work out," Stewart said. "We talked for a good bit about how they’re interested and that recruiting local kids is very important to their success. Isaiah knows a lot of their guys. He knows Sean Mosley just from playing on the AAU circuit over the years. So immediately when Maryland came, that made an impact on him. I probably have to say that [the Terps] are at the front of the pack, just because they carry a lot of weight around here and they’ve certainly done a good job in just the short period that they have been recruiting him actively."
Bracken calls him the best local prospect in the class, and he has a lot of interest from the University of Washington and Xavier. Lock him up now.
I'll take a class of Miles, Daquan Cook, and Justin Anderson, please. That would be a top 3 class, made up of purely local players. Won't happen, but I'll dream.
Hawkins' 20 lead way in women's exhibition opener -- The Sun
Nice start - the Terps nearly doubled Bowie State's score.
To Redshirt or Not to Redshirt?
I say you don't waste anymore redshirts. D.J. Adams, Danny O'Brien, and Pete White don't need to lose a year of eligibility on a season that's already over. - bagold
Montrose Checks in at 5 on ESPN RISE Fab 50
They'll be tough to beat this year. DeMatha, led by Quinn Cook, is seven. Daquan Cook's St. Frances Academy, in Baltimore, is 27, while Josh Selby's Lake Clifton is 29.
It's official. Too bad he's not a Terp. By all accounts, he wanted to be. Maybe we'll have a Born Ready/Maryland matchup in Maui. - bagold
David Mackall: Good News and Bad News
The good news? He's committed, and probably staying that way. The bad? His qualification sounds really iffy.
No shot at him, but he's a good one, and local. Reminds me a lot of a more inside-focused Terrence Jones. Maybe less skilled off the dribble, but definitely a well-rounded game.

Isaiah Miles
Which one is he in the picture? Also, now that some time has set in, I’m actually pretty happy that Born Ready isn’t a Terp. If anything, he would have been a distraction to our team’s chemistry, which I think will be good this year. Had he have been a player that would have stayed around for two or three years, I would have taken him, but the fact that he is most likely a one and done doesn’t make me miss him at all.
What's your opinion on Tobias?
Just wondering. I’ve heard this argument a lot, and I’m trying to figure out how you reconcile recruiting someone like Tobias, who’s likely a one and done.
Not a big fan of one and dones...
but, I like Tobias. On all accounts, he is supposed to not only be a great player, but also a kid who has a very likeable personality, certainly one that wouldn’t disrupt a team’s chemistry. Looking on to 2010, we are going to need somone to step in right away in the post, and I think he could be a very nice compliment (more like the other way around) to Padgett/Williams. Kinda like Wilcox: didn’t like it when he left, but he was a key ingredient as to why we won the national championship in 2002.
One more thing...
One and dones are a tricky breed. If we want players that are at the top of the crop (top 25), we also have to come to terms with the fact that they will most likely be gone after two years (assuming they develop as planned). This isn’t always the case as we saw UNC have their top guys return, but it is becoming more and more the norm.
Lance Stephenson
The main reason I am happy we don’t have him now is the fact that I think his attitude would have had a negative impact on the team (according to what I’ve read). If we can bring in a one and done that makes the team BETTER, then I am all for it.
Alright, I am done polluting your message board. Promise.
