Comments
I can't believe the Terps haven't offered Hubert at this point.
Are they just conceding anyone over6'6 at this point?
I try to keep my fingers crossed that all the naysayers are out of it. But, I am really starting to lose it.
I want to get back to the top 5 so bad, and it isn't gonna happen without top big men,
