1 out of 7 ESPN Experts pick Diggs to MD

Having said that, I highly doubt it happens. As long as D.O’B. stays, we can seel him as the Desean Jackson type of playmaker with Locks multiple, but mostly pro style, offense.

I can honestly see Goldaman going to AU, FSU or Bama honestly. I haven’t followed his recruitment much but he is aa elite talent so he can fit in multiple places and thirve.

Darby, by my accounts is all but a lock to FSU. The only reason being there track program. If we still had a track and field program (damn you, Yow) he would probably be commiting to us.

Word is that we’re back in the game with Goldman. He supposedly canceled an in-home with Saban, has eliminated Alabama, and has Maryland back on his short list.

Also, Auburn recruiting writers are saying Diggs is 50-50 with Auburn and Maryland right now.

There’s some sentiment growing that we’re going to get both of them, where there was none of that a few days ago. Just saying.

I think I was the first “Fire Edsall” guy here .. .but I have to give him due respect now. We may have a real opportunity to get not one, but two top-10 national recruits. That would be unprecedented. Our last 5-star went to prison and never played here. Not sure who the last one was that actually put on a uniform. Just the fact that we’ve been alive with them the whole year after going 2-10 is major recruiting progress. Everyone loves James Franklin now, but if he were still here Diggs and Goldman would never have considered us in the first place – like Jelani Jenkins and all the other studs he missed completely on. We weren’t even getting the good local 3-stars like brandon coleman. Edsall kept us in touch with them through the most miserable season we’ve ever had, and now he’s made the appropriate staff changes so that we can make a big run at them late.

Gotta give Randy his due. Bad season, great offseason. I’m excited about the future now, whereas 2 months ago I thought we were dead in the water until the Edsall era was over.

But I get a weird feeling that the reason a lot of these guys are having Maryland reappear on their list all of a sudden and it being between Maryland and SEC schools might have something to do with some under the table dealings. I know here at MD we always are the first to go after people for “cheating” but lets be real for a second, every successful school does it. How do you think the ducks went from oregon to OREGON? Maybe not straight up duffle bags of money, but there are definitely little things here there that can make a difference. These kind of things are standard practice in the SEC/Big 10/Big 12. The only teams that get busted are the ones that overshoot their wad or get sloppy.

The reason I think this is because I just cant see how any recruit, let alone 5 star guys, that would want to touch our program. 2 out of the last 3 years we were last place in a bad conference and we had massive scale defections this offseason so far.

right?

can offer financial assistance to those in need who qualify academically. What parent wouldn’t want their child to get the best education available? As you said, private schools can recruit internationally. Students from private schools are not liked in large part by their public school counterparts. They are deemed to be privileged and rumors are spread. As a McDonough grad I can attest to that. The University would be well served to increase it’s fund raising and it’s academic reputation and become not the UCLA of the east, but the Stanford of the east. Otherwise all’s fair in love and war; just don’t ever get caught.
