PrintI tried to do a football post but it turned into a basketball thread. Rather than have a mixed thread I thought we could use this for bball.
Recruiting news - MD is involved with another top 50 PG. 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
My thoughts: This kid is by far the best shooting PG that we are after. He is capable of being a true PG as well. Both he and Jordan are capable scoring options at the PG but Sina scores from a distance where Jordan attacks the basket more. In terms of passing ability its Andrew Harrison, Jordan, Sina ... in that order. Scoring: Jordan, Sina, Harrison .... in terms of what MD needs (right now - so not considering what Layman, Allen, and Shaq bring to the table) I would take Sina above Jordan because of his outside shot. If Allen and Layman can shoot like advertised, I take Jordan.
Jordan update: winning him over Temple is going to be very very difficult. He is at their games every week. He attended their game again this weekend, which brings the count to something like 5 or 6 games. While it is very close to his house, you dont see local MD recruits coming to the games weekly. On the other hand, you also dont see him retweeting about being the future Temple pg. He has retweeted a lot about joinging the terps.
Turge is in Houston right now watching the Twins. Bino was there last week. Bino was also on hand to watch the Dematha - Paul VI game. Guessing he is taking the lead on the Stan Robinson recruitment.
The million dollar question was just asked in the football thread....
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!!!
I hadnt really thought about this until now... Could this happen? It is certainly possible. This would be fantastic. The twins have been dominating their state tourney... if they win could they decide they have had enough of HS bball??
Other than Cassell JR their really isnt another 2012 PG option right now. I havent heard of anything on the JUCO front. Cassell JR has been blowing up but I think that he will end up at UConn for some reason.
Mitchell - some think that we are involved. I personally dont. I know that he said he wouldnt be taking any visits until the spring but MD has not been actively recruiting him or watching his games... atleast to my knowledge. I havent seen one thing that would suggest a coach has been there recently. If I am wrong please share your info.

My takeaways from the nationally televised DeMatha-Gonzaga game last week
There was a lot of D1 talent on the court for sure. I hate to admit it but I absolutely love Nate Britt’s game and really wished the Terps could have gotten him. He’s a fantastic point guard and I’d take him over DeMatha’s James Robinson any day.
Beejay Anya did not impress me so much. I’d rather look elsewhere for bigs. He misses too many layups for me. With his size and wingspan I expect him to be more dominating and he’s not. I’d have to look at Kennedy Meeks instead.
Lastly, I really would like to see the Terps offer Gonzaga’s Kris Jenkins. I think this kid is going to be a really good college basketball player. He can shoot it from outside and he has the size to score in the paint. He has a high basketball IQ from what I’ve seen. It wouldn’t hurt to have another shooter. If he needed to, I’m sure Jenkins could lose the weight in order to play in the ACC. I’d offer him right now.
After reading the bio on Sina (sp?), it looks like Turgeon is recruiting a lot of players who are team players, know the game, have high IQs. I asked a friend of mine who lives in Virginia about Stanford Robinson and one of the things he said was that Robinson “knows the game really well. He doesn’t need to shoot a lot but helps his team in lots of ways.” Those are the kind of players I want as Terps.
Nate's game is real nice
especially his court vision. But he needs to bulk up some for D1 ball, and his frame won’t really support it. When he walked past me at the Zaga/Paul VI game, I was surprised at how thin he was. If he can add 15 or so pounds, he’ll be ok. otherwise, he’ll take a pounding and might be more of an injury risk. He poured in 35 Sunday in their 2OT LOSS to Paul VI – Paul VI is the squad this season!
BeeJay missed a few Friday, but if you think Meeks is better, I would be careful saying that. I only saw Meeks video, but I’d like to see him versus top flight competition.
Jenkins – Not sure how hard it would be to get in with him now. He only needs to lose about 10 lbs through harder str. & conditioning. Having the inside/outside game for a big man is the big plus.
Stan – understands the game and his teammates – totally accurate what your friend said imho
Wild Card – you didn’t see him much in DM/Zags game (sick/hurt? no mention), but Jordan Abdur Ra’oof is THE guy to get from DM/Zaga. He’s a 6’6" Soph, with all-around tools that need a little more development, but he’s on his way. His dad is Prez/Exec of the M Club, and a legendary Terp/KC Chief. He may keep growing a bit a be a very good ball handling, athletic, good shooting/passing SF/PF, most likely a SF. I’m pretty sure the staff got the real good look in the 1st DM/Zaga game – and Jordan played well too.

Ziz
Played at my highschool Northeast in Pasadena MD. He sent me a quick answer when I asked him about his son. Kid likes the Terps, but he said way early and it would be Jordans choice but dad has some pull, then he laughed….
oh, so you did get the update
very good. bottom line is if Jordan likes Turge/staff/players, he’ll come here. We could save a scholly too – lol
I didn’t mention it, but he comes across as a well spoken young man. I bet he is doing great in school. The staff’s already started the convo I’m sure.

I left the same info in a post last week. If the kid is anything like his dad, he must be first class. Ziz was and still seems to be an outstanding person. Dude could run, and I mean really run.
Wait a minute
Ziz is Jordan’s father? I also went to Northeast, Ziz was a few years in front of me, but his name was still bandied about here and then.

Familiar
With what he did after HS, I remember when he came to a hoops game (I was still to young to pay attention) and our coaches gave us the “work hard you can do anything” speech (anything if you can run a 4.3/4.4). From what my HS coach said, Ziz was a good HS hoops player, but nothing compared to what he could do on the gridiron. It’s been ages since I’ve heard that name (small world)! At least Ziz is smart enough to send his kid somewhere other then NE, they may have won 30-40 games over the last decade.

All I know is.
If there was ever a year to only have a 3 man class, this is that year. That could be a huge selling point for the twins. Grab them and Meeks and we’ll have one of the best 2 season classes possible.
17 I think

How is KY this year in terms of recruits
Could they still take the Harrisons from us in 2012?
Presumably 94
Which puts them pretty close to the cutoff. Still think there’s no chance of them reclassifying. Education is important to the family and Harrison Sr. is smart enough to give them another year to develop. Not the best situation for us but it is what it is.
I don't think that our coaches being there means reclassifying
Just that we are continuing the recruitment.
PG Needed Badly
Given what we saw from Peshon, what we know about comin gback from ACL tears, and what we have coming in next year, i think we are desperately in need of a PG next year. I dont think we can wait and hope Peshon recovers in time. Lets plan to play him as a backup, but is there anyone we can bring in to start at the 1?
Cassell is the best option
unless we can convince Jordan, Sina, or the twins to reclassify. Who knows if thats even an option. the only other option would be to hope someone like Mo-Mo Jones asks to transfer to MD and is from the area so they could claim some sort of hardship waiver. The only PG options are on Duke (aint happening) and Memphis (Barton brothers). I cant really think of any other elite PG’s from the MD area playing for other colleges.

Kendall Marshall is from NoVA (O'Connell)
Obviously not happening but neither are the others you mentioned. Then there’s Markel Starks but he’s not leaving Georgetown. Finally, there’s Eric Atkins but again, I don’t think there’s any way he transfers from Notre Dame.
actually, Branch was our only realistic chance

There may be a 5th year guy out there
UNC had one last year. Michigan State has 1 this year. If Turgeon wants a PG for 2012, it would be wise to bring in a 5th year guy who is already proven instead of trying to sign a kid out of hs who will take up an extra roster spot for 4 years. We saw how well that worked for Wisconsin in football
Based on what I'm hearing from you, Charlotte
We’re looking at a lot of really good options for PG… in 2013 sadly. None of those 3 sound like real consolation prizes, but rather all viable Plan As. I know that you’re on record as saying that if Jordan wants to commit, you take him. Even at the cost of putting yourself out of the running for the Harrisons. Do you feel the same way about Sina?
Sina is pretty good
I watched some fim on him on youtube. He’s got a fluid, natural looking shot and he’s got a quick first step. They didn’t show his passing ability much which I would look at first with PG’s. I’d still take the twins first and Jordan second. He’s definitely not a bad plan C.
I doubt Papa Harrison will allow them to reclassify if thier grades aren’t in order to graduate. If they are, then YES, YES, a million times YES! If anyone is wondering where we stand with them, I’d say were still in very good shape. I’d say when Turge gets back, we will have a better idea of where we stand with them. Hopefully, its good news.
Charlotte, why do you think Cassell ends up at Uconn? You do know they are banned from the tourney next year right? Thier tourney ban might even be longer than one year if they can’t get thier grade issues under control. I don’t see why anyrecruit would want to go to a school that’s banned from the biggest tourney in college basketball.
Especially a JUCO
chances are limited when your a JUCO because you have less time to get there
Just a feeling - no substance to support it.

Gotcha
I just see Uconn in a downward spiral right now with Calhoun out indefinitely and being banned from the tourney. Not to mention they’ve been playing like shit this year with one of the most talented rosters in the country. Not too enticing for recruits if you ask me.
I understand that
but it was Cal houn who made that school (even if he was dirty) and what recruit wants to go to a school who won’t play in the tourney? If a kid commits there with all of that going on, either he was hell bent on going there or something is wrong with him if you ask me.
as dumb as this sounds
its sounds like he really likes the North east based on his tweets. Something about the geographical location says UCONN to me.

Papa Harrison is a business man
This could be a long term biz deal to reclass. Look, I doubht it but something seems to be up, in my gut anyway.
It might just be gas lol
But seriously, I just don’t see it happening. I’m not putting it out of the realm of possibilty tho.
lol
That was Saturday night after Dook,,,,, I have been thinking this for weeks. Stranger things have happened. The twins have nothing to prove at that level. No advantage to staying in HS if they don,t have to. I have alwasy heard the grades were good.
If they do reclass
and commit to us, our team goes from a bubble team to a top 20 team IMO
Look
This is more then likely a pipe dream on my part. The reason I bring up the twins reclass is I have heard it done a couple of times in the last week or so. The big kid Noel and then the Canadian guard playing down at some prep school in Carolina who has Zona in the lead.
Just makes me wonder if something isn,t shaken in the background with all the talk of 2013 guards the Terps are looking at. Seems to me just a couple months ago we had the Twins for 2013 and maybe two others. Now it seems we have 6-8 guards in play for 13??? Seems strange to me, and if I am right, damn would that be sweet,,,lolol
MD is after
every top 50 PG not names Nate Britt basically. It is crazy. We have to be in uncharted waters on this one

Thats what I am saying
Either Turge knows the twins are a long shot or he knows they are here for next year only? Hence all the recruiting of 2013 guards..Or would they be to young to jump to the NBA?? Anyone know the answer to that?
well damn
I never thought about that. Get the twins for 2012 and then need another PG for 2013. Very interesting. Totally flew over my head. Think they turn 18 in october. So they would have the 18 and 1 year of college ball under their belts. They would be eligible.

The only piece that doesn't fit in your scenario...
…and I LIKE your scenario…is Papa has said he wants the twins to complete their education.
You guys are out of control with this speculation
We need AT LEAST 2 PGs by 2013, and 2 on the roster at all times after that.
They'd be too young to jump after one year if they reclassified
But for whatever reason I don’t see them as one-and-dones anyway.
And FYI...
That “whatever reason” is Harrison Sr.
Oh yeah
I want to say on the Mitchell kid we had a staff member down to see him in mid December, last I heard anything with the Terps involved.
hill is recruiting someone with a big name
a 4 star, but for the life of me i’ve forgotten who. time for some research
He's recruiting Rysheed along with Bino
But Hill is the lead.
Hill neds to be recruiting Junior Etou
He’s a 4* PF who plays for DC Assault and he’s in the super 60 with the twins, Joradn, Siva, Anya and Meeks
Pure speculation - but I think Dalonte's gone after this year
I went to the Duke game and Dalonte was in outer space the whole time. Every other coach was animated and focused, but Dalonte seemed like he was daydreaming. It was very noticeable. Couple that with the fact that Bino is taking over the recruitment of local prospects, and it seems that Dalonte is being more and more detached from the program.
I think him and Turgeon had a private meeting after the DUI and to save the face of the program in his first year as HC, Turgeon told Delonte he wouldn’t be back after this season. You heard it here first….
We all know Dalonte is here as a recruiter.
Maybe he’ll be let go because of the baggage but he won’t be hired away. Spinelli may be, though. Damn… It really hurts me to say that.
What you say is possible
I won’t dismiss it since it is, but one question: Have you ever looked at Dalonte at any other game?
It’s just his style, because he looks that way at EVERY game – lol He listens in, dispenses advice to players during the game, but is the most inanimate asst coach you’ll find on the bench. I think you read into it based upon the DUI.

by bball purist on Feb 13, 2012 7:36 PM EST up reply actions
Fort the record though.
He’s looked like that all year on the sideline. I’ve been pointed out to my wife (as she ignores me) how he seems disinterested. But I think its because he’s not a coach, he’s a recruiter.
the assts help out more during practice anyway
but as far as getting into games, even Dustin goes bonkers on the sidelines at times. It’s just their personalities versus Dalonte are different. I feel having different styles can work to a staff’s advantage for various recruits.
Wait and see. I think it’ll take a few years to watch what the staff does as a whole. It’s possible it may work so great, assts start getting other gigs. I would think that will be a few years away to get a decent gig with a good school – gotta get results first.

When Sina 1st committed to Bama
it was cuz he went a camp down there and someone at his school had a connection to Bama. He broke the verbal 6 months later, but Rutgers, the Hall and SJ’s have been on him since Oct 2010.
The one shot the Terps have is the glaring need at PG. But Seton Hall has a huge need too (Sina’s dad played part of his collegiate career at Seton Hall too). I don’t know what to make of this yet, but let’s see if he visits here..

Any news on Marco Bourgault?
He’s a Juco guard who’s eligible for 2012 and had MD listed as his top choice. He also plays with a 6-9 center that could be a good get too.
Still an option last I heard
Honestly, I hear the kid can shoot, but thats about it. Give me Cassell over him, we need well rounded players who can help bring the ball up and pass plus shoot it a little. Now if somebody leaves then we can add just a shooter.
I'll take a long wing player who can stroke it.
But my hope is that’ll be Layman.
Twins
Can we at least all agree that the fact that our staff has been in Houston twice in 2 weeks is a great sign for the twins? A few weeks ago there was a lot of talk on this board about us giving up on them…looks like the opposite is taking place. Must be at the very least enough interest from them for us to keep going down there especially on such short cadence.
Enough of this football crap…basketball recruiting is a much happier place
I don't know
I’m still feeling Steforia from Friday night. That was a great night!

one thing
Turge and Bino would not be spending this very valuable time if there wasn’t an above average chance at this point. Not in the middle of conference play like this.
This is serious, and this could be the topic – who knows. But I do know th esmart coaches do not waste recruiting time. Charlotte and I thought they cut bait cuz of all the other PGs, but rvande put another view on it which is now a possibility too.
We cannot know yet…but the truth will come out soon

Exactly
The whole going down there twice thing is what has me believing. Go down there once w/ Bino and that’s one thing, but Turgeon making a trip the next week?
Almost like a conversation took place last week that needed to be followed up on immediately, and by the head coach.
This is interesting because I thought the twins wanted to wait until after basketball
season to get back into the recruiting thing. I’ve read on here that Baylor has been to a number of there games and I don’t think Turge or any assistants have been to a game yet this year.
Do you think Noel’s reclassifying got the twins attention to try and do the same thing?
Wonder what they’d be talking to Turgeon about? Playing time?
Unrelated to recruiting
but Notre Dame is now Top 25 ranked. If we somehow come back on the bubble we have that win going for us.

Let's get this reclassifying theory under control
Right now the twins are only 16. They will be turning 17 this year. I figured this out because I saw Aaron tweet that he wanted to get his liscense soon. If they do reclass, they can’t leave after a year because they won’t turn 18 in time. Now before you get depressd that this theory is shot, cheer up it isn’t. We will have the twins for 2 years and when they leave for the draft, The PG that commits to us for 2013 will be a sophomore by the time they start. This actually works BETTER for us.
their bday is in Oct...
so you are saying that they just turned 16 in october… of their Junior year? I find that very hard to swallow. There has to be a way to really get their birthdate

Texas b-days
They go 9/1 to 8/31 for the school year. So they are most likely the oldest in their class and 17 years old.
If they're only 16, they'd be bound for 2 years, not just 1
The age requirement for the draft is 19, not 18.

Um...no?
That makes it sound like their birthday was soon before that article, which would make them turning 17 this summer.
Their birthday is in october, that article was written in august, so they hadn't had their bday yet in 2010
So two months after that article (oct of 2010), they turned 16… then 4 months ago (oct of 2011), they turned 17
Here is another tweet about Harrisons:

Those kids are wasteing time in the high school ranks. I am not gonna call it yet, but makes a ton of sense..
Yeah
Because basketball is all that matters. Not like they would need to qualify for college and graduate from highschool or something. Unless the state championship game counts as both SAT and course requirements this theory doesn’t seem too real.
Summer school
you take classes that count for your HS & college. SAT… not so sure about that.

they could both do very well on their SAT’s, get thier GED and drop out of high school and enroll in college a year early. I highly doubt they do it, but they could
Whats your problem?
Its, not as if this is something brand new. Two kids in the last week have reclassed ahead a year. Relax my friend and let a few of us dream for a couple hours at least. No one said its going to happen, but I am telling you that it can.
Now I don,t know a damn thing about these kids and the grades they carry. But what I said above about wasteing time in highschool on the bball court is damn true.

The last few years have made it hard to be optimistic about Maryland sports.

Andrew could rack up the assists with that line up.

He’s not an outstanding player by any means but look at how much he improved last offseason.

Katz on Stoglin
2. Maryland’s Terrell Stoglin has been an elite scorer this season. But Saturday against Duke, he wasn’t pleased with the way his 30 minutes were dispersed and the time he spent on the bench. So he tweeted after the game: "Loved sitting that bench today. Smfh wow.’’ Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said he would handle the matter internally and that Stoglin was frustrated. He could also add that Stoglin is a bit immature. And that’s OK. He’s in college. But Stoglin doesn’t need to tweet every thought he has and potentially disrupt the team concept when the Terps are trying to survive the season with depleted numbers.

"A new era has dawned in Maryland Athletics..."
charlotte, my question is for u
Why do u believe that andrew harrison is not as good a scorer as either sina or jordan? Every time i have watched him play he has looked like the best player on the court. He can get by his man every time and has the ability to finish at the rim. He also has a very good outside shot with a nice looking stroke. That being said, he is a pass first point guard. He knows how to win and will do whatever his team needs. Whether that is feeding others the ball or taking over when needed.
by formerlyknownasjinsookim on Feb 13, 2012 5:50 PM EST reply actions
In aau he was facilitating and not scoring as much. Looks like he has improved that a little recently. I’d take Jordan in a one on one matchup. Sina has more of an Eric Hayes game. Andrew seems like a more athletic Kendall Marshall.

I personally think the twins are waiting to see how things work out in Kentucky...
Like how Tyreke waited to see if Rose was going to go pro or come back for his sophomore season. I think the twins and their father looked at the way Calipari used Bledsoe and Wall together and think he can do the same with the twins. Why else are the twins taking so long….
maybe to let HS bball season end first, catch their breath,
and revisit their thoughts from before? Maybe marvel at the improvement of many Terps players and realize fundamentally speaking, they’ll be better off playing for Turge than Cal?

True
If a player doesn't chose Maryland it doesn't make him a bum
so, the question yet to be asked
would this make us a number 1 recruiting class? and would it be the first top recruiting class without a Mcdonalds all american?
Did something happen?
Why is there a sudden spike of posts here regarding the Harrison Twins? Are we just speculating on their reclassification and randomly speculating on their impending commitment, or has something concrete happened?
during a recent event involving players
someone spoke highly about the situation with some of the players about things involving basketball. things are starting to get real, with lots of impact and highly touted stuff.
Jordan at the 1 Sina 2 Robinson 3
thats when we go small, but Sina AND jordan has to be unlikely and Turge likes bigger line ups anyway
My understanding:
Both Bino and Turge have gone/ are going to Houston to meet with the Harrisons. Obviously they are hotly recruiting the twins. However, Jordan recently said that he was Turge’s #1 PG target for 2013. Since we all know that high school juniors always get their facts right and never lie and that conflicting stories never occur in basketball recruiting, it’s obvious that MD intends to get both Jordan and the Harrisons. Therefore, the Harrisons are reclassifying to 2012! That makes perfect sense. Pass the Kool-Aid.

But I do think it's funny that 2 of our most "dream is over/Twins ain't happening" posters
Charlotte and Rvandy are now leading the charge into Twins fanaticism. Love it!! I must say that the theory is not so far fetched. Even if Papa H. wanted his kids to go 4 years in college(doubtful, but still) why not get them there a year early, and gain an extra season of money making in their NBA future when the time comes. As for those thinking this move would be shirking their HS education, let’s be honest, junior year is the last important year in High School. Perhaps first semester senior year has merit, but most second semester seniors are just going through the motions, taking the last English class and a bunch of cupcake elective classes.
Bring on the Harrisons!!!
This theory makes 2 much sense
I’m not sold on the twins for 2013 but for 2012 this seems perfect. I feel like there has to be more to this than turge and co casting such a large net hoping to land one of the 5 elite PGs they are recruiting. Casting a big net is great but spreading yourself thin is not. There is only so much time to spend recruiting. The Jordan quotes stick with me as well. Number one on their 2013 board, but who is number one on the 2012 board. The staff has to realize that our pg play is not going to really improve next year. Something is up.

It is likely pe’shon howard might not be healthy next year and mosley is graduating. You could sell them that they at least have the chance to claim the starting 1 and 3 spots with Stoglin playing the 2. They compliment him well because this allows stoglin to guard the oppositions smallest player. Bring in a combo of faust layman allen and parker off the bench for the guards and 3 and you have a legitimate backcourt not to mention the fact that pe’shon will eventually be healthy

Going straight to the source
@aholla3
@AaronICE2 @DrewRoc5 any chance you guys reclassify to 2012 and come to UMD with your boy Shaq next year?
And for the record, the odds of this happening are like 0.000001 percent
It’s not that easy to just reclassify from one class to another. Most guys that do it, like Nerlens Noel, were originally members of the class they reclassify back to. Their classes would have to be completed, SATs taken, etc.
Their really isn’t any benefit to them doing it either. They haven’t committed anywhere, like in the Andre Dawkins situation where Duke really needed him to come and play, and he had already committed to Duke and had most of his classes taken care of. They’re top prospects in 2013, are the right age for their class, and will be wanted by everyone no matter when they graduate high school.
Papa Harrison doesn’t seem like the type of guy that would want his kids to do this either.
let me pass out a can of 'hype-crushing'
twins in ’12 would be fabulous.
however. 1. Kentucky is #1 in the nation and has more hype than coke zero.
2. calipari is getting national pub for being a great x & o’s coach now.
3. its the twins championship, who WOULDn’T be there for that?
4. rysheed is in the mix pretty hard.
5. and the killer…
remember that bino and turgeon went up to see mitch mcgary at the 11th hour last year a few weeks before his decision? maybe, just maybe this is a last gasp save attempt?
if so I’m crying on the inside a little.

Twins recruiting
The twins, and papa Harrison, have all said that they would resume the recruiting period after the basketball season was over. The championships were this week, obviously coaches would be down for it to see how they played.
Some can take the synical view that we are making a last minute effort to get them, but that is not the case as this is not last minute at all. This is merely the coaching staff honoring hte families wishes of waiting for the season to end to resume recruiting, which they did. Now we’re back down there on the trail again with them, and there is no reason to believe that it ever went cold.
We never heard news during the season, which is why everyone started to get paranoid that we had given up on them. If anyone had bothered to look back and see that they stated they wouldn’t be looking at recruiting during the season, we would of all been relieved, but then what fun would the basketball recruiting threads of been?
For the record, I’m still on the Rysheed Jordan/Stan Robinson team, as they’ll stay at least 3 years most likely, but obviously no one says no to the Harrisons and you keep pushing for them. They won’t be deterred by anyones commitment, because they know that they are better than everyone else.

Really good points
As they said, they weren’t doing any recruiting stuff until the season was over. And the MD staff respected that. So what do they do? Be there the second the season is over. DO WORK TURGEON.
Baylor
Has not had a problem camping out at the Twins games the last couple of months. I,m not saying thay had verbal contact, but they showed up at games.
Yea
I mean, Baylor is obviously closer and all, but it’s probably good to be seen, at the least.
I was mostly trying to spin the idea of Turgeon and staff respecting their stated intent of resuming recruitment after the basketball season was over. We are doing conspiracies here, right? I like the idea of Harrison Sr. saying ‘I want my sons to focus on school and their current season without any outside distractions.’ And Turgeon & Co. respecting those wishes. If Bino really does know Harrison Senior a bit personally, maybe he realizes that respecting his wishes is the best move? I don’t know, I’m probably reading into DJCarv’s statements above too much. This thread was just a lot more fun than the other things going on on the site atm.
Agreed
It was a fun thread then most happenings lately. I understand your respect idea as for Papa Harrisons wishes. Time will tell on the twins and maybe we hear some news from them soon…………
I"m being serious in my point though
They did say they would resume recruiting after the season was over and would not be focusing on it during the season. I’m thinking Turgeon & Co. probably are respecting this for the most part.
Papa Harrisons comments about waiting don’t prevent any schools from showing up to watch, but I’m sure respecting his wishes and not making contact would probably go a lot further than trying to recruit anyways.
I wonder
If Turge and Bino sit next to Papa Harrison at the games? That would be awesome and probably a little intmidating to other coaches recruiting them.
Reason for visit
They are going to be “running into” coaches from Texas and Baylor through out the playoffs. If they get to the state championship, they’ll be playing it in Austin. That essentially another visit for the Texas. Makes sense for other coaches to show up and show their faces at the games now. They will be seeing a lot of Texas and Baylor as the playoffs go on. Their coaches pop up everywhere during the playoffs. I’m sure Turgeon knows this
I don't think the state championships were this week for the Harrisons
I think they won their district title. I believe they still have regionals and then states but I could be wrong. It seems to me to be way too early for a HS basketball season to be ending. Turgeon and company may have to make a few more trips to Texas.
You're right, my bad
It was districts I looked it up.
The staff is working on Mitchell. The question is whether he will qualify, not whether the staff wants him. I don’t know why some insist on posting that the opposite is true, it isn’t.
I still ask
what evidence does anyone have that the staff is actively on him? Listen Im not questioning Mitchells talent or saying he isnt good enough to be a terp… im just saying that I dont think they staff has made him a priority. They appear content at the forward position. Its the PG/SG positions that they are clearly after, both for 2012 and 2013.
Doesnt it seem odd to anyone else that MD is actively involved with atleast 6 top 50 guards, yet we havent heard them be involved with ANY other player in the top 100? No SF, PF, or C? Those positions are not off as much concern to the staff (IN MY OPINION). What probably is happening is they are actively speaking with a PF on one of the guards team. People have mentioned some PF on Paul VI …. thats my take on it.

You don’t have to believe me, that’s fine, but, as you yelled in the above post, you are talking about your “opinion,” while I am sharing a bit of fact.
Turge wants to win championships. The current talent down low cannot do that, so the staff wants to and plans to upgrade. Just because you haven’t heard about the staff’s involvement with 2013 bigs, doesn’t mean they aren’t heavily involved.

Charlotte, give him a break.
Not everything gets reported on twitter (and the majority of what does is either wrong or horribly biased anyway), and a lot of recruiting happens behind the scenes, you know this. If I had a source I wouldn’t give them up either, especially not on a public board such as this.
You have a choice, either take him at his word and accept that he may have inside information or ignore him and move on, but don’t berate him as if he does have information (which like djcarv I’ll take him at his word that he does) then we lose a valuable resource for news.
by FearTheTurtle on Feb 14, 2012 10:41 AM EST up reply actions
I hope we are not involved with any SF for next year
We are borderline logjammed at the position as it is. The next two years we will go 3 deep at the position: Parker, Faust and Layman (not in any particular order). Faust can also play the 2, but if we are recruiting an upper tier SG for 2013, we’ll start logjamming there as well with Allen, Stoglin (Sr.), Cassell Jr (if we land him) and whatever 2013 SG that comes in.
I think the priorities of the staff are obvious though, they want a floor general first and foremost. Then they want a second scoring option. Then they want someone down low, I don’t think a 3 is on that priority list at all for 2013. In all reality, they are probably waiting for Dwayne Morgan hopefully in 2014.
I'll take your word for it
Now tell us —what do they have in the works for 2012? I’d think the staff would want to find another guard to come in next year to really feel like they are built to compete.
Yes, they want another guard, specifically someone who can run the point. There aren’t a lot of them out there, sadly. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did a 5-year grad-student type thing with someone. It is also possible that they will push for someone like Sam Cassell, who continues to blow up as the school-year continues.
His timeline is a bit delayed in that he is unlikely to take any visits until after the season. He is also a bit more of a combo-guard/shooting guard than a primary ball handler.
Right
I was lukewarm on Cassell before because he seemed like a headcase and me first guy, seemed like we had limited interest….maybe that’s changed now. If Turgeon and co. are convinced he can be the guy than I’m all for it.
St. John's is a good fit for him
They have a bunch of good, young players, and they need a pg. He will be eligible next Spring and he will get the chance to do what he wants to do, run the team. He would’ve been a good option at UMD. He would’ve been the best pg on the roster.
I love what the staff is currently doing
I mean, I really, really want to be all in with the twins, but we know that’s absolutely not a realistic thing to do. With the Terps being in the mix with soooooo many top 100 recruits, the staff is essentially reducing variance (i.e hypothetically speaking, assume the twins verbal but then back out last second and end up at UK, Baylor, Texas, Zona, etc) and letting EVERY SINGLE elite recruit in the area know that UMD is committed to not only winning, but doing so with the best players in the nation.
I can’t even remember the last time I was so pumped about a future Terps class. The class after the Natty was heralded but fell way short of expectations and the ‘12 class looks great so far, but our prospects for ’13 are absolutely crazy good. It’s a fantastic time to be a Terp fan. Enjoy the ride.

Completely agree
I love that the staff is not giving up on the twins and is actually being extremely proactive. I’m not sure how often this happens, but it seems like a pretty big deal for a head coach to travel hundreds of miles to Texas right in the middle of his ACC schedule. It’s not like he’s going down the street to Paul VI or something like that.
Hopefully the twins will realize what this staff is willing to do for them.

Lots of interesting ideas
I’m “all in” for the for the twins joining us next year (I enjoy a nice set of twins), but it’s fun thinking about the problems associated with too many good players in the mix. I love the direction of the hoops program and wish I could say the same for football right now. Just think, it was not that many years ago that our one man recruiting class was Dave Neal. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Mayor, but what would this discussion board have looked like if it existed back then with him as our “top” recruit.
I wanted 5 D Neals!

What is Delonte Hill doing? He was supposed to be the guy. So far, not really hearing about what he’s doing.
What Rvan said below
Also, it’s been discussed in some other threads what Hill has been up to. I think it’s pretty legitimate to question what he’s doing considering the hype and salary. But I think the reasonable approach is ‘give it a couple of years.’ I, for one, am OK with that approach. Assuming there’s no more DUIs :P
Kam Williams and Phil Booth NAmstrong
Dalonte, since you mentioned it jdwall12 should be baby sitting 2016 kid from DC Assault by the last name of Hampton. From what one of my sales guys just told me that works down toward Bowie, this kid is going to be a monster in the that class. I am sure he is working it on a few kids. I need to find out more about this Hampton kid. I know he is 2016, but let the work begin.
I think we have a better shot with Booth then Kam
Wasnt Kam the one to say the staff hadnt been paying him much attention? Am I getting him mixed up with someone else? 2013 I think we are going elite and Williams falls below that threshold.

The kid Booth is coming on strong from what I hear.
I am with you Charlotte, would be nice to hear some movement on this not yet filled 2012 class. I think we still have several months to go on it. Between grades on a few and more and more kids blowing up as usual.
Side note- Greg Whittington is doing ok .
Also, the sales guy I mention about the 2016 kid used to play D1 b-ball and the guy he was chatting with did so also. My point is when that guy tells me news on bball, he knows what he is saying. The Hampton kid must be pretty good and in our backyard.

247 sports and one other recruiting website tweeted about an update for the twins but it’s members only. Anyone have any idea or can briefly summarize what it said?
STOGS 4 PREZ!!!
