I am back for one day only. Jon Rothstein was at Comcast this morning and was basically live tweeting the practice:

Great early AM practice here at the Comcast Center. Fear the Turtle!http://yfrog.com/odfz5jggj

Leaving College Park with this thought --- Maryland is a postseason team. With Dez Wells equals NCAA --- without him means the bubble.

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

Impressed with Maryland's balance and depth. Terps four man freshman class changes the dimension of this team.

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

Jake Layman has a "Chandler Parsons" type feel to his game. Everything looks effortless. Really smooth for a SF.

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

Lots of really good players on Maryland but the only potential great one may be Alex Len. Much more polished in the low post than last year.

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

You can tell the Maryland staff just LOVES Michigan transfer Evan Smotrycz. Really shooting the ball well. Impact newcomer in 13-14.

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

Pe'Shon Howard and Alex Len stabilize Maryland at PG and C. Terps have a number of guys that can rotate 2-4.

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

Would expect @CoachTurgeon to rotate James Padgett, Charles Mitchell, + Shaq Cleare at PF. Terps have four capable bigs.

Enjoyed visiting w Maryland asst Scott Spinelli. Lots of horror stories of when he had to eat at The Olive Garden when working at Nebraska!

Maryland @CoachTurgeon said he hopes to hear from the NCAA on Dez Wells in the next week. If Wells plays this year, this is an NCAA team.

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

.@CoachTurgeon on Maryland "We're more of a team in all phases than we were last year. We're all on the same page."

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

.@CoachTurgeon on Alex Len "He's physically and mentally tougher than he was last year. He's really improved his low post game."

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

.@CoachTurgeon on Maryland's chemistry "You can't force chemistry but we have it. We're more balanced. We have more options."

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

.@CoachTurgeon on Logan Aronhalt "You can't leave him open because of how well he shoots the ball. He'll open up driving lanes."

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

.@CoachTurgeon on Shaq Cleare + Charles Mitchell "Both will play a lot. Shaq just needs to learn the system. Charles has a lot of game."

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

.@CoachTurgeon on Seth Allen "He's probably the most ready out of all of our freshmen."

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

.@CoachTurgeon on Jake Layman "He's smooth. He can shoot 3's and go off the dribble."

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

.@CoachTurgeon on Nick Faust "He's going to play some PG. He's really worked on his shot. We need to get him back on the offensive boards."

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

.@CoachTurgeon on Dez Wells "We're hoping to hear something this week. He's shot it better than I thought he would since he's been here."

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

Tough to project an early MD starting 5 but I'd say Howard and Len are near certainties. Wells is an obvious choice if he's cleared.
