McGary Enjoys Florida Visit - Zags
Ladies ... do some work.
"He enjoyed it," his father, Tim, told SNY.tv. "He liked the campus. He said there’s a lot of beautiful women on campus."
That's our Mitch. Anyway, the rest of the pertinent information is duplicated at the next link, so I'll leave it till then.
Mitch McGary Blogs for ESPNRise
He talks a bit about the Florida visit and lists all of his dates for his visits. Maryland's not getting a return visit; they're visiting Michigan, Kentucky, Duke, and UNC, ie, every school he hasn't visited so far. So that's a fair shot, but I was holding out hope he'd take another look at MD.
And he reviews Weezy's new mixtape, so, um, there's that.
Maryland football media day is today
We'll have a full roundup of links when it's all done.
Bigger doesn't mean better for White in Terps' up-tempo offense - Washington Times
One of the biggest talking points so far of fall practice so far has been the up-tempo pace, both of practice (required by the decreased practice hours) and the offense. That's a bit of a problem for massive G Pete White. Despite huge talent, Edsall says he's "not very happy with where [White's] at right now."
Aaron and Andrew Harrison interview - DraftExpress
Not much in the way of recruiting news, but they reiterate that they're looking for a "family situation." And I love the answer to "Is the NBA a goal?" Andrew: "Yes, that'd be nice. I would like to go to the NBA."
The Current ACC SECession Threat Advisory Level Is ... Orange - BC Interruption
Our friends at BCI round up reactions of the various ACC teams and how much they want to leave the conference. No one really seems to want to stay, unfortunately.
WVU Site says 'Eers have support to join ACC
From "very reliable sources," WVU is up there with Pitt, Syracuse, Rutgers, and UConn as the ACCs top expansion candidates. And I'd hope they'd be below all of those four, but, y'know, whatever. Anyway, the site claims WVU support from VT, Maryland, UVA, Florida State, GT, Miami, BC, and Clemson, with Duke and UNC as definite no votes. Wake and NC State are the swings, supposedly.

per therecruitscoop
From September 3rd-8th, 2012 Brewster (NH) PF Mitch McGary will be on official visits to Michigan, Kentucky, UNC & Duke, per @3starmeyer.
not sure if this is old news or reliable for that matter, but it doesn’t sound too good
WVU
If WVU has "support from VT, Maryland, UVA, Florida State, GT, Miami, BC, and Clemson, with Duke and UNC as definite no votes. Wake and NC State are the swings, supposedly.
By my count that’s 8 Yes votes. Why do two No votes by UNC and Duke hold so much weight? I know there’s a NC bias but majority rules, does it not?!?
well this will assure that WVU will hate puke and unc too.
As if they would need any other reasons.

I’m skeptical that West Virginia would get the support of Virginia and Wake.
Either way, it seems pretty clear Luck wants WVU out of the Big East.
Editor, BC Interruption
I agree
I find it difficult to believe that they would have much support. Compared to other schools in the Big East (UConn, Pitt, Rutgers, and Cuse), WVU would be a plan B. Honestly, Nova would be a better option. While Nova’s football team would have to make the jump to FBS, their academics, basketball, and non-revenue sports are top notch.
Another factor that was not discussed in the WVU article is their awful academic reputation. You can’t consistently have acceptance rates in 90 percents and expect elitist institutions to accept you (e.g., UVA, Duke, and UNC). Similar to the Big Ten, the ACC has always prided itself and marketed itself as having an excellent academic reputation.
I asked a friend that's a WVU grad if he'd want to move to the ACC
And he said no way in hell. He then went on a diatribe of how much better the Big East is in football than the ACC and how the ACC is a shitty conference of cocksuckers.
Yea, he’s a bit of an asshole.

He's so full of crap.
That’s like the people here saying they wouldn’t want Benedict Anderson on our team anymore. Given the chance they’d drop their pants.

Know a lot of WVU fans and grads
they are a-holes who believe that the big east is the best conference that has ever been created and think WVU is in the same league as USC, Ohio St, Alabama etc. in football. They also think the acc in basketball is a joke and that WVU has more prestige and history than umd and the rest of the acc in b-ball. I usually point out to them that WVU has been a b=ball tradition since 2004.
minus jerry west of course.

"Ladies ... do some work"
Unfortunately, I do not think we have a very strong female population at this site.
Well RayLew acts like a b!tch sometimes.
Sorry RL52, I apologize but couldn’t resist.

the Florida girls are hotties...
we’re doomed!…it’s so over maybe that’s why we only have 16 post on this story everybody kind of knows it aint happening
FL girls are not hotter...
they just wear less clothing is all. Which of course makes them look hotter.
Maryland basketball has been a sleeping Giant. The Giant is waking up.

I cannot agree with this.
No offense to the girls at Maryland, but I’d trade them for the female population of any SEC school, looks-wise.
Disagree.
You have apparently never been to Kentucky. Let me tell you: overrated.
Same goes for Miss. State.
Ben
Georgia and Alabama?

Some smart 18 yo students
who want to major in business may take a stab at going to a school in an area where there’s huge numbers of contacts for their second career. Students go to Gainesville, get their degree, and get the heck out of Florida because their is nothing going on there. Unless you’re going to school at the U – lol

that's why prep school
can be good for a lot of players who are too busy playing, and not studying enough!
