How close was the ACC POY and COY voting?
Not all that close. Greivis got 73.6% of the vote and Gary got 79.2% of his vote. Historically, those are some pretty impressive percentages.
CBB All-American Team - Jeff Goodman
He's got GV as a first-teamer. I still think he'll end up on the second team but first team All-American would be an incredible honor.
Duke at Maryland is "Game of the Year" - Pat Forde
"Excellently played in a charged atmosphere with a lot on the line. The Terrapins grabbed a share of their first ACC title since 2002, and Greivis Vasquez might have snatched league player of the year honors away from Jon Scheyer in the process of making two heroic shots down the stretch."
Definitely the most electric college basketball game I've ever attended. That off-balance miracle shot by Greivis will be one fans remember for years to come.
Dave Neal Wins Irish Superleague Player of the Month Award
Not a bad day to be a Terp, huh? He takes home the honor after averaging 27 points, 14.6, rebounds and 3.8 assists this past month.
After having the Terps as a 5 seed a couple days ago, somehow we're down to a 6 seed. Oh, and Georgtown, (a team with a worse record, a lower ranking, and a 2-4 record over their last 6 games) is sitting comfortable at a 5 seed. Makes a lot of sense to me...
Bracketology 101: Bracketology 101's Field of 65 - March 9
Terps a 4 seed. I like it. - DT
NCAA Grants One Year Grace Period for CIW Rule
This is in regards to the rule that a coach-in-waiting has to abide by the HC's recruiting rules, which are limited compared to assistants'. Maryland will still fight it, but they'll use this time to do so. Honestly, Franklin might just be the straight-up HC this time next year. - Ben B.
Quick Note on 2011 Target, Devin Langford
Via ESPN:
Lee-Huntsville junior power forward Devin Langford will receive a lot of attention next season as he assumes the leadership role on the defending champions.
PF? I think they mislabled him - he's always been a SG. But I do think he's underrated, so it'll be good to see him get some more credit if he's the team leader. - Ben B.
DeMatha Wins State Championship - Highlights
Quinn Cook outscored Gonzaga as a team in the first half. He dropped 30 in the game - absolute program-changer. Mikael Hopkins had a couple of nice blocks, too. James Robinson, a 2012 kid from DeMatha, crosses a kid up in the video as well; the area is strong for 2012, with Justin Anderson, Isaiah Miles, and Robinson all potential top 25 guys. - Ben B.
My Take: Cook is no doubt a program changer. I just don't see Curtis Malone letting him go play for Gary.

Dave Neal's
numbers last month are mind blowing! Is the Irish league really equivalent to a PAL?
I REALLY
would rather have a 6 seed; the road to the final 4 is MUCH easier!
How so?
A 6 seed has to face the 11, 3, 2, and 1 potentially, whereas a 4 seed 13, 5, 1, and 2, potentially. So, we still have to beat 1 and 2 to go to the final four, but we’d face the 5 seed and 13 seed instead of the 11 and 3.
I’m still hoping we make it down to a 3 seed…

I agree with a 6>4, but we are going to be a 4. I don’t expect a final 4 run and I would prefer an easier route to the elite 8. The 2 seeds this year will be dramatically worse than the 1s and there will be little difference between the 3s and the 5s.
Why would Lunardi put us in San Jose?
He put Richmond in Providence and both of us are 6 seeds. Does that mean that he has Richmond rated higher than MD?

Why doesn't
Cook tell Malone to “let me decide where I want to go play ball.” I mean really, does Malone have ALL of the say to where Cook goes?
Can someone fill me in...
…as to the animosity between Malone and GW? Don’t have that piece of the local recruiting puzzle…
Malone is a convicted drug dealer who wants to get paid for everyone he delivers
Besides that he’s a swell guy I’m sure
Part 2 of 3 of Steve Yanda’s hit piece on Gary last year actually gives a lot of detail about this.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/12/AR2009021202299.html?sid=ST2009021102913
Despite that section being a bit informative (unlike the gratuitous rest of the series), I still want Yanda to apologize.
Why would Cook come here?
When we have Stoglin locked in at the point? IMO this seems very unlikely for that reason alone. Would love to have him but he will have so many options.
how is Stoglin locked in at the point???
He hasn’t played a single minute in college yet. Plus Cook is a much better recruit than Stoglin.
I don't see us getting starter level PG's 2 yrs in a row.
Especially since Cook will have his pick of the top programs in the country.
No one knows if Stogs is a "starting level PG."
And we could always use another in 2011…we’ll only have two on the roster at that point.
Stogs
Stoglin was on a state championship team, had been hanging 30 and 40 points a night down the stretch, and is one of the better recruits out of Arizona. I think if this kid had been from the Baltimore/DC area we’d be gushing about him. Hard to see Cook coming here when his Freshman year we have Mosley, Stogs, and Howard rotating in the 1 and 2 spots.

Remember when people were crying that Terps got Greivis and Eric instead of Jerome Dyson
Echoes of the “how could Gary recruit Juan Dixon instead of Albert Mouring”….makes me excited that we got PeShon instead of nutcase Ross.
Completely agree
Pe seems like a great kid, can’t wait to see him play.

No talk about the football recruiting thing
Coaches in-waiting can fully recruit again now. Maryland and texas won their battle with the NCAA
We didn’t exactly win…well, we probably won, but Texas has more fighting to do. This is a grace period, basically gives us a year without the rule taking effect while we continue our legal case. Of course, by this time next year, Frank might be our HC, or we might have a new one altogether. We pretty much got what we needed, but Mack Brown will probably stick around for more than one more year, so Texas will continue their case.
Why don't we ever rock out the black uni's?
They are tight.
Please no.
Black uniforms always lead to bad results, at least in football. This is a documented fact from seeing UMD, FSU, and UGA get crushed playing in black uniforms. I think it distracts the players or something.
Last time i remeber the black uni was when we got blown out in the acc tourny in like 05 or 06…

photographic evidence please
i wanna see ’em in action.
In one game as a freshman at Miami, Wieters hit a two-run homer in the top of the ninth to put the Yellow Jackets ahead, then pitched the bottom of the ninth for the save. On that day, the God nickname was bestowed. - Sports Illustrated

remember that game
mosleys coming out party..other then that it was terrible..they were just raining down threes on us all game…the uni’s look sick though…i wish we could just go yellow every game
Hopkins
Was at the Dematha-Gonzaga game and Hopkins had more then a couple of nice blocks. Think he ended with 12 or 13 in total and was absolutely dominant on the defensive end….no one could come into the paint. Wouldn’t be suprised to see him rise in the rankings as we get closer to his senior year.
More then 8 Blocks
ESPN, or wherever your getting 8 blocks (that’s where I saw 8) is not reporting the right number. Dc sports fan (http://dcsportsfan.com/) a high school sports website and the site that was covering the game reported 12 or 13 and watching the game first hand it was definitely closer to 13 than 8. He was a beast on the defensive end.
You are a moron
Cause I was physically at the game, the highlights probably are more right correct then watching the entire actual game live, your right. They are called highlights for a reason, not every single play that happened. But good work you can count to 8, shows you at least have an elementary education….
True Idiot
So now you are changing your reasoning for saying 8, first it was highlights now stats? Can you say anyhting besides “yeaaaa”??
Alright fells settle down.
Either way, 8 or “12 or 13” is impressive. Let it go. As a poster with plenty of experience in pointless arguments, just chill out.
kckb8
what are you doing!?!?
let this drag on. it was just getting heated. it was turning into a cat fight and you NEVER break up a cat fight.
FYI when i say cats i mean literal cats. =)

Pointless
I agree that this is a pointless argument, my point in saying 13 (I was also at the game, so tmoney you saying you were there and saw 8 means nothing to me unless you wrote down every block he had) was that he had more than a “solid” game. He changed the game on the defensive end and let no one come in the paint, yet they kept trying.
Quinn Cook and Mikael Hopkins
InsideMdSports has a free article on the game and highlights of both players.
BTW if we get both I’d be so delighted. Yes, delighted.
