ITs the Stephon Diggs era and Im doing my first football fanpost. Popping my cherry in that manner. Well obvsiouly people are up in arms about DOB today. Im not sure what to make of it but whats done is done. There really isnt any point to sit and harp on the past.
Earlier in a post I asked if ESPN's "considering" list was accurate for MD. Im still waiting on someone with a little more football knowledge to give me a yes or no answer. There are some very high players considering MD still out there if the list is accurate.
I went onto rivals to try and find their list and came across this article. It ranks the ACC's 2012 football class. I really enjoyed the article.
Highlights:
MD #2 in WR
MD # 5 in RB - thought this was a little low
MD #5 TE
MD #6 LB - thought this was low as well

Our offensive recruits are definately superior to our defensive recruits.
Was gonna change this to say "Hold Up - Charlottes talking football" but couldnt figure it out so I included it for a laugh anyway.
Mike Ferrel - Stefon Diggs factor at play at mdhigh.com camp today. More 2013 kids listing #Maryland than they were last week.
Its a new ERA. I love it.

Or the MD effect on players...
We chanted his name several times at Looney’s at the announcement.
I resent that comment
I answered you :p
Recruiting services in general for football don’t update the considering list that often because it is so hard to keep up with due to the sheer volume of players. However, they were on the ball on the big day, taking people off the lists as they committed, so IF the list was accurate before the big day, then yes the list should be fairly accurate now.
Out of that list, the only guy I’ve heard of is Liddell. Great height for a WR, not sure how mutual the interest was though.
haha
my bad. Does anyone have a better list of MD targets? True targets? I would think with these transfers we wouldnt be done with recruiting.

I'd say ESPNs list is accurate as any
As for JUCO, the 4-6 players from Iowa State that transferred from New Mexico all are listing MD. I’ve heard they have legit talent, but I have absolutely no idea about any of them except the QB from this area who was a All-Met player in 09.
As far as remaining high school seniors, unless Ben has a more updated list, defer to ESPN. None of them are 4-5 star talent though so the holdout is somewhat surprising. Maybe they are hoping for better interest after national signing day from schools that did not land players at a position of need. Of course in that case, that dictates that MD is not one of their favorites since they are holding out for a better offer.
Are ex-NM players any good?
Haven’t they been pretty bad there the last few years (in spite of and hopefully not because of) Locksley?
There was some talent that went there
I’m not gonna lie, I haven’t reviewed any highlight films or anything, so I’m not the person to ask on them. They’ve only been rumors at this point as to whether they’d come, all they’ve done is express interest in MD because Locks came here.
OK I googled it, it was bugging me
AJ Liddell was one of the football commits that de-committed. He de-committed in September of 2011. At the time he was unranked, now apparently he is ranked as a 3 star, but not committed anywhere.
I’m not sure the details of the de-committment, but maybe Pete could weigh in if he reads this. He wrote something up on Terrapin Station when he was still there, that was the article I pulled up.
When am I getting my weekly bball thread, Charlotte?
The staff is going to watch the twins this week, right? Do we know when that is? Or has it already happened? I agree with you that if those other 2 studs want to play for MD (sorry, can’t remember their names), you take them. But if we still have a strong chance with the Harrisons, I like that we’re still doing work on them.
Turgeon is having Spinelli do his radio show / ACC call today
Because he’s out on the trail recruiting. Anyone have any idea where he is?
Maybe I'll call in to the show
I’d love to hear what was going through his mind during that Miami game.
I,m thinking Cassell Jr and Mitchell
huh, wha?? Charlotte, what are you doing man!??!? lol
Get back to your roots my man, your gonna screw a bunch of us up!
some think that we are still involved.
I personally think that we are not. Mitchell stated that he wasnt making an visits until Spring. Numerous people have said that he has grade issues. Not taking visits is one thing, but not hearing about MD coaches watching the player is another. MD is to high profiled of a school for info to not leak about MD going and watching games.

I thought we visited as recently as late December/early January?
After the game Mitchell said he was definitely giving MD a visit?
could be wrong
but i’ve heard Maryland would def get a visit from Mitchell

Just wanted to bust Charlottes balls on the football post
If anything, Mitchell seems to be a Tenn lean, but still needs the grades.
see my post below. Meant to link it for you

So, we sort of HAVE to pick up a transfer or JuCo QB now, no?
I mean, you have to believe that the coaches would prefer to keep the redshirts for the incoming freshman. And with CJB’s play style, plus the fact that he got injured last season, you have to believe that CJB won’t see every single snap this season. The staff has to be scrambling to find a back-up of some sort, right?
now that you're going to his BBall post...haha
I’m guessing we are going down the JUCO route, but not the way you’re thinking. Unless there is some I-AA recruit we don’t know about, we’re not going to get one that can play immediately. I think they’ll probably look hardcore at the old New Mexico QB for sure, but they’ll either burn Perrys redshirt or Caleb Rowes redshirt this season as the backup. In a way, that is not necessarily a bad thing as long as both aren’t burned, it puts some spacing in between the classes.
Ive got some new info for you
Not worthy of an entire fan post… well pretty close to one the more I think about it….
MD is now recruiting Jaren Sina.
http://espn.go.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/102866/jaren-sina
Sina is a super skilled guard with a lethal jump shot. He has an effortless stroke that is virtually automatic when in rhythm from anywhere inside of 25 feet, is equally effective shooting off the catch or the dribble, and can also make tough contested shots late

So is half the free world!
Kid looks good, 2013 getting really heavy. Ok, gotta say it, put it out there!!!!
Anyone thinking with the Bino visit last week and the Turge drop by this week that the twins are gonna re-class for 2012??? I know whishing on a prayer, but stranger things have happened. Go ahead jump all over me, I have big shoulders!!!
F it... im creating a bball post. I will copy this and we can discuss it there.

Question...
…. This may be naive, but I keep hearing people talk about “get someone to reclassify”… I would think thats nearly impossible no? Wouldn’t htat imply they have already graduated? how does one just choose to “reclassify” when they graduate high school?
The way HS classes are done nowadays it's not impossible to have enough credits to graduate after three years
Especially if there are two levels of diplomas. If they passed all of their classes, they may have enough now, or may be able to take a few in the summer and then graduate before August.
Not happening, FWIW.
This.
When I graduated in 05 I had enough credits to graduate in 04.
not out of realm of possibility
Noel was pretty much a surprise. Not much speculation before he did it.

Except they're actually juniors in high school
Not blockheads in prep school like McGary. Harrison Sr. cares about their education and I’m sure their mother does too.
jeez
keep going after SJ’s recruits. SJ’s and other Beast schools after him.

Is this a FB or BB post?
Guess it doesn’t matter, as both teams need major help with the Offensive Line lol
