Please gary don't screw this up.

UMD and a superstar career await you NF

Anyone got some insight where he is headed. I've heard a lot of good things about the kid and how he fits well into MD's system.

Right....please Gary don't screw this up??? What a hilarious insight to this report. Keep coming Gary bashers! He loves it.

"Please gary don't srew this up." Geesh. So if NF comes to UMD then Gary's OK. If he doesn't, then Gary screwed up? The decision is the kid's ultimately. Sometimes they are mislead by wrong information or less than upright coaches. Sometimes they simply make the wrong decisions. Gary did everything he could except for lie, cheat, or make false promises. It's up to Nick now. Thanks GW for running a clean program. Be blessed!

I guess "screwing up" is going to the NCAA tourney 14 times in the last 17 years

It's Maryland.

Faust was down to Maryland & Villanova but Nova has talented wingmen for the next 5 years.
And there is a question whether they even have a scholarship to give Faust since they got one left for 2011 or '12 and the word is they have it filled (2012 highly ranked wingman from Philly area) but holding off announcement until after Faust and Hubert can make public choices which closes down all the 2011 targets by Nova.

Can someone explain to B-Raven that if Gary screwed this up he already screwed it up. Gary isn't going to be pitching him on this show.

Who, if anyone has Maryland already signed for the 2011 class?

thanks.

Well said by the above comments on Gary. He will continue to show the kind hall of fame coach and man that he is. I do hope the Terps get Faust because it would be a very big get for the program. GO TERPS!

B-Raven and Bobby:

To suggest that Williams ever "screwed up" Faust's recruitment suggests that Faust, absent Williams' efforts, would have attended Maryland. If you fully believe his dad, no one beyond Nick Faust really knows where he will go. Besides, I find it impossible to see how approaching a kid and offering him a full college scholarship and a chance to play ACC basketball would ever qualify as "screwing up?"

Terp'nTexas,

I wasn't saying Gary screwed up. I'm saying it's impossible to screw something up if he's not a part of it. The kid is announcing where he's going, Gary's chance of screwing up (I doubt he screwed anything) is already over.

In essense I was just implying how stupid that comment was.

A lot of comments about Gary here. And, I see both sides.

The bashing of Gary isn't because he is a bad guy, and it is not a knock on his coaching ability. It on his in ability to attract Baltimore talent and his inability to produce top nba talent consistently.

The Terps play a system, the flex offense, that system is not conducive to players being big scorers. the offense is about cross screens near the basket and everyone touching the ball. That is one of the many factors that deter kids from Gary. It isn't a dribble drive system like a Kentucky. It takes a special player like a Vasquez, or a Steve Francis, to figure out how to let the system work for you.

Another thing that turns fans off of Gary is the fact that he isn't a consistent producer of nba talent. And, those that go to the nba don't usually make a lot of noise.

Lastly, i have coached 3 kids that Gary has recruited. Many of them don't see him as a players coach, many don't see the school as a producer of nba players. And, many nowadays don't remember the championship run.

They should be grateful for the opportunity to be a terp, and take a chance and learn to run the flex.
