Sigmund Bloom @SigmundBloom 1h in market for receiving TE RT @caplannfl 49ers are working out U of Maryland TE Matt Furstenburg, who had a solid combine workout overall.
from TwitterWe're working on bringing Maryland back to the Barclays Center next year.

I'm jonesing big timeJakob Engelke @Jakob_Engelke MD Madness student dunk contest will be judged by Torrey Smith, LaQuan Williams, Josh Wilson, Walt Williams, Juan Dixon and Dave Neal.
Jacob Engelke's Twitter. Sounds like a pretty fun group and I just thought this was pretty cool, so I decided to share. Plus, my feeling is that they have the student dunk contest lead into a player dunk contest, which would make sense for having all these guys as judges...but I could be wrong.Earl Badu dead per teammate Drew Nicholas

"I credit Maryland, they really got his spirits up," the source said [of Dez Wells' visit to Maryland]. "It was a blessing to me to hear. It started out a rough week for him. He went through Kentucky, Memphis, but Maryland was the first time I heard the excitement back in his voice." "Just by his excitement," the source said. "If I had to bet the house on it, I would be betting in the blind, I would have to say, my gut, I know how he felt, sounds like possibly Maryland."
via Terrapins Insider on Dez Wells Judging by the comments, that source is either his pops or his coach. And after reading that, I can't imagine he really goes elsewhere. Also, liking this new Alex Prewitt kid at Terrapins Insider.Dez Wells is at Kentucky now, leaving there FRI going to Memphis then MD in a row. Decision likely Monday. U of L no scholarships.
Via Dave Telep on Twitter. As expected, Louisville had no chance - no scholarship space and registration was already done. UK fills in for their spot. Kentucky has the scholarship space but their registration is done as well. Can they fit him in to get him eligible? I would think not, but it's Cal, so maybe. And with Memphis, he'd basically have to be registered ... now. Or tomorrow, maybe. So we'll see. Thing is, this might play a bigger role than you'd think, because he'll be trying to win an appeal with the NCAA to be eligible immediately. They might not look kindly on a school trying to backdoor him in after the registration deadlines pass, and given that this is basically a judgment call for them, he may not want to do anything to hurt his case. If that happens, MD has the trump card. Alternatively, hey, maybe the NCAA will realize his situation and be lenient. Who knows? Anyway, sounds like Saturday or Sunday for Wells here.Naming Perry Hills the starting QB. Caleb Rowe will be our #2 and Devin Burns our #3 heading into William & Mary game week.
via Randy Edsall on Twitter So then, it's for real. No surprise given his pretty solid showing in the scrimmage, though I was wondering if Burns might not overtake Rowe. Seems not. Well, everybody on the wagon.Edsall said Devin Burns came to him and asked to move to quarterback to help provide depth. Will work with the 3s. [...] Perry Hills is No. 1, Caleb Rowe is No. 2 and Devin Burns is No. 3
Both via Twitter; Patrick Stevens on the first, the Diamondback on the second. Looks like this was the only thing of note to come out of the press conference. Burns moving to QB is quite intriguing; he did manage to quarterback one of the best teams in Georgia in high school, and played there for his redshirt season at Maryland. He was seen as very C.J. Brown-esque as a QB, with a lot of athleticism and explosiveness but some questionable accuracy. I'm not sold he'll be a better fit than Hill or Rowe, who have been studying the playbook and taking snaps at QB under Locksley for longer than Burns has. But hey, he helps to make up the bodies and it's not like Maryland's lacking in wide receiver depth. For what it's worth, Edsall refused to name Hills as officially the starter, which means this is still a competition. Any of the three could probably factor in between now and Sept. 1.
