Another great win tonight. Gotta love the toughness they showed on the road. Seth Davis ACC Mailbag My Take: Currently 6th all-time in points and 2nd all-time in assists. Numbers don't lie. Three Maryland football players named Academic All-ACC - baltimoresun.com San Francisco 49ers' Vernon Davis an unlikely curling fan - Ann Killion - SI.com Lets continue with our recent blast to the Terps past, today with former Terps football great Vernon Davis. I think this is one of the best qualities about VD - he seems like a real down to earth person and does something like this. It is kind of funny when you think about one of the strongest players in the NFL doing curling. - DT
Ok, not a lot of love for Seth around these parts, but he calls Greivis an all-time MD great. I'm inclined to agree. - Ben B.
Travis Baltz, A.J. Francis, and Paul Pinegar, were three of only thirty ACC players selected for the honor.
Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs. Maryland Terrapins - Recap - February 17, 2003 - ESPN
Since we've had a blast from the past theme going, thought I'd throw in a game recap from this day in MD Sports history - #13 Md defeated #11 Wake in College Park in the original snow game. The win moved MD to 8-3 in the ACC (hopefully we can repeat that tonight). - DT
UNC Falls to Georgia Tech, 68-51 SI.com
Why include this clip? For a little perspective. The point total in this loss by UNC was the lowest in the Roy Williams Era; The year after a National Championship. Just thought people might want to appreciate that, especially those that think Maryland should have been a top 10 team for the several years after we won the 2002 title. It's not that easy to remain at that elite level.
UNC has what most believed to be some of the best talent in the nation this year, yet they're just 2 games above .500. Maryland got some of the top recruits following our title in 2002 and they didn't pan out as people thought they would either. Recruiting evaluation isn't an exact science and this is yet another example. And nothing can be as valuable as experience. - DT
'Born Ready' Still Coming Along
A not exactly complimentary piece from FanHouse on everyone's famous former fling. - Ben B.

Also I think Lance made a mistake not coming to Maryland. He would be taking that little jumper that dixon did all day every game.
in hindsight,
im glad that drama queen didnt come to maryland. at the time, of course i was pissed. i wanted the number 7 recruit in the country to come to our school, but no its obvious that a lot has to do with chemistry. and i trust gary in whatever choices he makes until he decides to retire after this year. he proved that he is a COACH, unlike Roy of the same name who is just a jerk off general (too quote Ari Gold). Gary is a real coach, and he will actually coach players. so im willing to accept the fact that were not gonna get big name recruits that dont want to work hard. so ive realized that im fine with not getting big recruits as long as Gary is here. and Gary should be able to leave on his own terms, no doubt in my mind. GO MD!!!
I think he may have put us on top in the ACC...
this year. It would also leave us with a very good scorer going into next year; despite all the hype about being a one and done player, he doesn’t look to be good enough for the NBA yet. Without Lance we are losing almost all of our scoring next year. With him, we’d be in much better shape.

That said...
I understand why Gary stopped recruiting him and ultimately I understand the situation.

Lance didnt make the mistake
Gary pulled the scholarship. Still think we came out with the better deal
We will all realize how great Vasquez is...
once he isn’t here anymore. We’ll see how important he really was.
Have to give it to Vaz
Can you imagine if he had the complimentary players that some of our other greats had?
Im sorry
but i just cant imagine vaz and born ready cooperating with each other on the court. Two huge egos that would have most likely resulted in a mess. It seemed like everyone on that 2002 team was pretty humble.
Vasquez wants win before anything and I think it would have been fine. Lance still isnt getting the most touches in cincy.

Recruiting updates
via Insidemdsports twitter: An interesting visitor outside Maryland’s locker room after the N.C. State game. Hint: his name rhymes with C.J. Leslie.

Also from insidemdsports – Terps offer scholarship to DeMatha sophomore Jerami Grant, a 6-foot-7 forward.
ESPN insider – i dont want to give out premium info but Mychal Parker and Terrell Stoglin have been putting up big numbers in their recent games. we’re going to have some good scoring options next year.
I wouldn’t read anything into the C.J. Leslie spotting. We really shouldn’t get our hopes up for that one. That said, I am thinking NC St. looks less and less likely every day.
Was he on an Nc State visit?
Cuz if he was thats hilarious that he was outside our locker room after the game.

For once, I will agree with my boy Ryan. GV is without question one of the all time Maryland greats. It’s hard to imagine where we would be without him.
Stephenson? Who cares. He’s not here.
Mychael Parker is an absolute beast. He is a scoring machine and exactly what the Terps need. He steps in for Milbourne next year.
Leslie. hmmm. Why go to State? Makes no sense. So come to Garyland.
GREATEST QUOTE EVER
“I just yelled,” Williams said. “There was not a lot of basketball talk in that huddle. But, I mean, you have to do whatever it takes to win. I’ve been accused of yelling by a lot of people, but I’d rather win the game than just sit there and let it go to waste. So that doesn’t bother me. I just coach my team the best way I can and try to get the win.”
