Ernei Grunfeld GM of the Wizards has always had a soft spot for ex Terrapin basketball players. Juan Dixon, Steve Blake, Lonnie Baxter have all made their way through the Balto DC area. This is why it came of no surprise to me when I was told that Greivis would be in for a workout Tuesday morning at 11AM. . Remember Greivis has not hired an agent yet so he is still eligible to return to the university. Whatever happens, … Read More »
It’s funny when the season ended, the early word was that Greivis was 95% certain not to be coming back to Maryland. Things change!! According to a terrapintimes.com interview with Coach Williams, the maryland guard would need to be in the top 20 of players selected in the draft, an unlikely scenario. “I think from everything I have seen so far, not that he isn’t good enough to play in the NBA, but I think that if Greivis does come … Read More »
Within a few minutes of finding out about Terrence Ross’ verbal to the Terps, I called Stu Vetter, Terrence’s coach at Montrose to tell him of my absolute joy in hearing the info. Stu commented that Ross is getting better day by day. When I saw him at a game at Montrose late in the year, I was immediately impressed by his gracefulness in playing the game. The sky is the limit for Ross. With another year under the tutelage … Read More »
The timing of this announcement is very curious, Here is some speculation.
1—Most experts believe that Greivis is gone either to the NBA or Europe.
2–The Henry brothers canceled their trip to Kentucky thus leading to speculation that a Kansas commitment is on the way.
3– Lance’s dad has said repeatedly that he wants to find out exactly what Greivis intends to do.
4– Vinson is out of the picture though many believe he never considered Maryland.
5- Braxton … Read More »
Because I was on the air at ESPN tonight , I missed the Maryland Basketball awards banquet. Testudo times reports of the sharing of the MVP award between Dave Neal and Greivis and they believe Greivis should have been the sole winner. There is no dispute that as Greivis went so did the Terps. Dave Neal provided an integral role in many of the victories but it was Greivis who was the straw that stirred the drink. In the … Read More »
Two key facts blare out from the final rivals.com 150 ratings just published: rivals has elevated incoming Terrapin Jordan Williams to a 4 Star recruit and of the top uncommitted players left potential Terrapins Lance Stephenson is rated 3rd and Terrell Vinson is rated 7th. Everyone has given up hope on Lance becoming a Terp but I have not. Why? Because he has had hundreds of chances to drop Maryland from his list and never has done so!!! … Read More »
The merry go round continues. Adam Zagoria reports today that within a couple of days, Lance Stephenson will decide between St John’s and Kansas, completely ignoring Maryland. Lance took an official visit to St John’s this weekend after having talked to Bill Self on Friday. Monday night point guard Sherron Collins announced he is definitely returning to Kansas. Here is my take: Self is playing Lance like a fiddle. the second Xavier Henry commits to be a Jayhawk, … Read More »
The confusion during the last play was just one of a hundred plays so go easy on laying the game on Greivis’ shoulders.
If Greivis leaves as has been said, what an opportunity for Lance Stephenson to come in and be surrounded by experienced players and still get plenty of PT.
It looks like the Terps will need wins over NC State and Wake Forest to advance into the dance. Virginia Tech had its opportunity to get to 8-8 but … Read More »
I always hate when victories are assumed like everyone believes that Wake has no chance vs Maryland today.In all honesty they probably don’t but that is precisely how upsets occur. The Lady Terps are on a roll and hope to capture an ACC Tournament Title. Kristy and Marissa might just tak
Stan the Fan will be on Channel 2 this Sunday at 11:30 with a half hour on all local sports. What is the name of the show? PressBox of … Read More »
The Wolfpack hung around tonight but Greivis Vasquez refused to let his team falter, scoring 33 points and running a near flawless court game while leading the Terps to a 71-60 road victory over NC State. Dave Neal reminded his team at halftime the urgent need for a road win in the ACC and finished with 11 points and 8 rebounds. The Terps are now 7-7 in conference play and the general consensus is that 8-8 will get the Terrapins … Read More »
