Ricky Rubio is 18 years old, always lived at home, and certainly starred in whatever Euro League he was in. But, how will he do in the NBA—18 YEARS OLD!!! Jim Boeheim wasn’t impressed. His passes and ball handling remind you of the Legendary Pistol Pete. Remember Pistol might have been a great showman but many rings did he have? Many Euros have dominated overseas but in the NBA they become journeymen. Meanwhile American players who have proven their worth … Read More »
How can Grievis Vasquez help make the Terps a better team and help his cause in the next year’s NBA draft. Good point guards know how to control the pace of the game, get other players involved and know when to shoot the ball. Vasquez has great court sense and a real good feel for the game. However in the past he has gone through periods where he just throws up shots without taking into consideration time and score. I think a … Read More »

Mike Wise can write —plain and simple. Check out this article from Wednesday’s Post.
I think Maryland needs to follow a similar blueprint that got them to the final 4 in 2002. 4 man big man rotation. Padgett, Williams, Goins, and Gregory. Padgett and Williams will be a tremendous upgrade from Braxton Dupree. I don’t think you can expect Williams and Padgett to do a lot offensively particularly early in the season, but they need to play defense, rebound on both ends, alter some shots, block some shots and be able to catch the ball down … Read More »

Andy Katz has released his final Top 25 Preseason Poll for College Basketball, and the Terps have earned the 17th spot on the list.
Greivis Vasquez‘ decision to return gives Gary Williams the ammunition he needs to build a tough-minded, gritty bunch once again, with eight of the team’s nine top scorers back.
This is an accurate ranking for the Terps heading into the season. Everyone knows what Greivis can do for this team, and Bowie, Milbourne and Mosley … Read More »
Lance Stephenson could have been the toast of the Baltimore / DC area. He will soon be nothing but a faded memory on our minds. I will never understand why he didn’t commit a few weeks back after Kansas made it clear he wasnt wanted as a Jayhawk. Here is hoping that Born Ready and his posse find what they are looking for. I promise these are my final words on Lance!!!!
Jim Terp 70 in the forum last night mentioned that I did not include Kim in the analysis of the 2009-10 Terrapin Basketball squad. I hope Kim has bulked up a little because the intensity and fearlessness he brings to the table are plusses for any team. Jin Soo came to Maryland with a reputation of a shooter, yet last year he never found his stroke. Gary has said the biggest adjustment a shooter has to make when he comes … Read More »
Yes it’s my biased self speaking, but let’s analyze why this team is ready to make a run. Senior Leadership prevails at he most important position-that of guard. With Hayes and Greivis, the Terps have their backcourt combo since the championship days. Bowie, Mosley , and Tucker give guard, small forward depth that the Terrapins have never had. Landon Milbourne whether playing the 3 or 4 position has another year under his belt and a tremendous character resume stemming from … Read More »
