Eastern Shore forward Damonte Dodd commits to Maryland - Recruiting Insider
No matter what happens with Dodd in College Park, I have to say that he seems very likable and very gregarious. Maybe not at Boom Osby-level, because Boom was on another level, but definitely has fan favorite potential.
"I honestly was just as clueless as a doorknob," Dodd said Wednesday, recounting a whirlwind 24 hours. "I didn’t know what was coming."...
As for Dodd … could he be the second coming of Greg Whittington? "Never heard of him," said Dodd, who averages 24.2 points, 15.7 rebounds and 5.7 blocks.
Also, he compares himself to Kevin Durant. I was hoping he saw himself more as a banger at that size. -Ben B.

The Odd Couple: SLAM on the Stoglin-Turgeon dynamic
May do a post on it in the future but SLAM captured it as well as I ever could've.
Basically, it looked like a generic version of Allen Iverson playing for a non white-haired Bobby Knight.[snip]
"Our relationship is much closer now because I understand that in order for me to get to where I need to get, I need to listen to him."
Hey, that sounds good. -Ben B.

He's very specific. I like it. -Ben B.
Don't expect a Georgetown-Maryland series to happen anytime soon - Andy Katz
I worry that he may be right. I was initially happy to see KA take such an aggressive approach, but by doing so he's basically made it impossible for either side to do anything without "caving." And that will probably end up being a negative in the long run. -Ben B.
