Matt - do you have any idea about who the Terps are still looking at for 2010? any JuCo players? thanks

Steve -- As far as I know, nobody that's a really well-known quantity. You're probably looking at Goins-esque big men at this point, and possibly some JuCo sleepers.

Matt:

As usual, great information, particularly when addressing prospective 2013 and 2014 recruits. I always look forward to your Friday "Recruiting Report."

For next season, what is your understanding as to Maryland's true interest in adding yet another player to its roster versus saving the scholarship for 2011? As I understand it, there's rampant speculation that Goins won't return due, in large part, to his separation from the team in the Spring semester. If that should occur (and I'm not advocating for it one way or the other), then another scholarship would be available for, ostensibly, a big man. With Williams, Gregory, Padgett and Pankey underneath, it seems to me that the team could likely use some additional depth on the front line. Given the apparent lack of remaining undecided quality big men--Maryland needs to forget Leslie at this point--perhaps a juco player, akin to Smith, Randle and Osby previously, if such a player even exists at this time, makes sense.

Matt-

So, what does that mean good/bad with Quinn Cook?
THe stuff I have read and seen, plus the rumor front, has MD in pretty good shape.
Again, I never had Gary as a bad recruiter of gaurds.
He has always got the most out of them, and knows the type he wants.
The big men, are another story.
The point is, I had heard that whoever advises Cook, has pointed out the success or Blake, Dixon, Francis, Vasquez, and so on and so on.

ANyway, Cook is small, but I hear he is a top notch defender for his age, and can take over a game shooting. PLus, he is one of those rare talents as far as a floor general.
Well, the 5 stars on him tell you most of that.

Terp'nTexas -- I think Maryland would add a big man for 2010 if it's an incoming freshman who's better than Goins or an overlooked JUCO. The 2010 guys might be tough. Dieng seems to be the only quality guy left that they're involved with.

Ryan -- I don't think that Cook himself even knows where he's going, so for Maryland to be in that group is all you can ask for at this point.

Matt,

What about J. Graham, he has to be better than Goins... We need a blue collar player who will rebound and can score inside... 10 to 15 minutes a game is what we need. a 5 man big rotation will be needed to make up for the guards.

Mitch -- There aren't that many high-majors after Graham. Seton Hall under Bobby Gonzalez was the main one, but now that he's gone I'm not sure where Graham will end up.

Thanks, Matt.

I think Maryland should heavily recruit Bhullar brothers before others get a chance to know them. I saw the link from Testudo Times earlier last week about the two brothers and they were huge and nimble in catching balls and dunking. Usually, people that tall are skinny at that age and blow up later, but they both look nature. Especially, they are brothers and equally large, so it is in their gene, instead of some abnormal growth and injury prone. I know MD had a 7-4 kid a while ago and just stayed for one or two years, never played, and transferred, and fans would not like to have any walking stick. They can be for MD like Collins brothers were for Stanford, but only bigger and better. Even though, their video shows their skills are very raw and only have few post moves, but theirs are look exactly like what I saw Jordan Williams' last year, and no body is complaining right now.

I know! I know! Ryan, this won’t fit your five stars recruit qualification/pre-requirement, but so be it. You were wrong all the time throughout last season, so why do I care about what you think.
