Ok, so whether you believe that Redskins fans are all a bunch of fags with credit cards, or that Ravens fans are all a bunch of in-bred hillbilly yokels -- we can all agree on one thing -- Maryland looked like garbage last night. I think the guys in purple camouflage in the pic from the other thread could have played better defense...
So, the hell with basketball -- its National Signing Day for football. This should be a national holiday. You can keep up with everything on this link.
So - feel free to vent about Terps bball -- or comment on any of the new recruits... Or go to hell... Whatever...
Posted by Chad at February 2, 2005 10:00 AMHere are the people we are "supposed" to get, in order of some subjective ranking system like Rivals.com I think. Bold means we have their letter already this morning.
DE Melvin Alaeze
OL Jared Gaither
RB Morgan Green
WR Darrius Heyward-Bey
DB Anthony Wiseman
DB Jeff Allen
WR Nolan Carroll
LB Jeffrey Clement
DE Jared Harrell
DE Barrod Heggs
OL Zach Marshall
DB Jamari McCollough
DE/FB Jeremy Navarre
DB Danny Oquendo
LB Marvin Peoples
LB Dave Philistin
WR Terrell Skinner
QB Chris Turner
WR Isaiah Williams
OL Phil Costa
DE Dwight Galt
DE Tom Galt
DT Travis Ivey
I like the bio on Wiseman:
"was also recruited by Miami, Florida, Nebraska, Michigan and Virginia Tech ..."
Why the hell did he come to Maryland?
It looks like we got some pretty good speed committed at WR. Hopefully god smiles upon us and for some reason MacPhearson decommits from Florida and comes here.
Posted by: Chad at February 2, 2005 10:28 AM10:36 a.m. -- Clinton, Harrell, Philistin
I didn't think we were getting Chris Clinton. Sexcellent, a LB from FL.
According to Gatorzone.com, they haven't put up any commits yet. I actually called the Signing Day Hotline, but nothing there either. Seems to me McPhearson would be a starter next year if he came here.

Only the boys from Randallstown left, McCollough & Alaeze
Derrick McPherson
9:59: "Yes, Derrick is going to the University of Illinois," Gerrick McPherson said from his office at work Wednesday morning. "We talked it over last night and being so familiar with Coach Zook and Coach Locksley, we decided Illinois would be the best fit for Derrick. This morning we faxed in all the papers for his letter of intent to Illinois. He will play for the Fighting Illini next fall."
Boooooooooooooooo. God does not like you today Chad.

Woo Hoo!
OK, I'll stop posting over and over.
Posted by: Pat at February 2, 2005 11:18 AMI hate Derrick MacPhearson... And god. The hell with those two...
Posted by: Chad at February 2, 2005 11:18 AMThe Diamondback sports section has Heyward-Bey as the best incoming WR in the nation...home cooking, but here's hoping he does for the terps what Owens dod for Philly...for 14 weeks.
