Maryland Minute 12.21.09 - Brandon Ifill Chooses Pitt

Props to Ben B. for most of the links today.

Brandon Ifill Chooses Panthers over Terps

This would have been a real nice pick up for the Terps. Oh well... - Ben G.

Ashton Pankey in NJ.com's Top 50

Stress fracture is slightly concerning, but he'll be a good grinder for Maryland.

Ashton Pankey, St. Anthony: The talented 6-8 senior forward, bound for Maryland, will likely be out of the lineup for at least a month due to a stress fracture in his left leg. He averaged just 7.7 points in 15 games last season, but realized his greatest value as a rebounding and defensive force.

Also in the list: Sterling Gibbs. Surprisingly not there: Desmond Hubert.

Bog Gives Juan the #2 Spot For DC Athletes of the Decade

Can't argue with that.

2. Juan Dixon (9) At some point, great athletes are defined by their teams' results. During a decade of local mediocrity, Juan Dixon won a national championship. He was the most outstanding player of the Final Four, became Maryland's all-time leading scorer, was the player of the year in what was then the nation's best conference, was a first-team all-American, and won more games than anyone in Terps history. Sure, not every D.C. sports fan is a Maryland fan, and sure, Dixon's pro career has been spotty, but in my opinion, he left a larger mark on this region than any of the names listed above.

Star-divide

Jio Fontan to USC

Maryland was involved for a short while. Looks like he ended up elsewhere.

My Take: Good for him.  Hope he enjoys his new SUV. 

Josh Furman Likely to Michigan

Maryland stopped recruiting him long ago, but it still hurts. I liked him.

Steve Goins Still Hurt

Okay then.

"No, no, I'm not including him," Williams said. "He hasn't played all year."

Recruiting Report: Weekend wrap — Parker comes home

Busy recruiting weekend, basketball-wise.

Wow, the Fontan thing ended quickly. For some reason I thought there was serious interest from us, but yeah, the quick commit to USC reeks of sketchiness. Is Master P’s son still over there?

Too bad, would’ve been a heck of a mitigation for potentially losing Ross.

"Good for him. Hope he enjoys his new SUV."

Bahahaha. Hope he enjoys not playing in the tourney while USC is banned (if anyone in the NCAA possesses a soul.. Not counting on it).
