Unless Mark Turgeon kills it with transfers this spring Maryland is in for a long, long, long very unpleasant season.

Is "Sticks" Smith ready to declare for the NBA?

He is expected to, and they're losing Cowan too.

The only thing that can stop this team is the ME syndrome that sometimes sets in after success. But Pike and the team have built a very strong team character program. I don't expect that to happen. We need guys like Geo playing like the team guys they are, not auditioning for a pro career.

With the way our guys didn't get to dance, I suspect that will reinforce the TEAM attitude next year. Yes, everyone acknowledges they earned a bid but without actually getting to play, the hunger will still be there.

The B1G will lose several star players this year. We should be in good shape to receive the double bye next year. If we can replace some scoring from last year team, we might even receive 2/3 seat at the dance.

We moved up a spot. Right at the top he said "Please note that this list will be constantly updated during the NBA Draft process this spring"

Thanks. Having Cliff must be worth at least one slot up.....

Looks like B1G will be stacked again next year. No time to rest. I had doubts on whether Pikiell could pull in big time recruits but with Omeyeuri and Jones that put those doubts to rest.
