or why I love Gary Williams.  The whole interview is great but  @ the 2:51 mark the crux of why Gary Williams is the greatest man ever.  Click on the "Chick Hernandez talks with Gary Williams" video.:

good hire for Pat Skerry and Towson as Duane will help with local recruiting.  He also helped to turn a moribund St. Albans team around.

UMD gets NCST @ 7:00pm and then dook in the 2nd round;  if UMD can get by dook (asuming they beat NCST) they have a good chance of reaching the finals.

Whittington has his 12th straight dbl-dbl (JW esque) and continues to dominate all he goes against:

Yes, Shaquille appears to be interested in the Terps!  Oh, but this is a 6-9, 285 lbs, 2012 Center out of Houston:

It looks as if  Eugene McCrory and Greg Whittington are contingent plans A-B in case Hubert doesn't pan out.

 I'll be fine with any of the three previously mentioned and feel that they will be better then what the Terps currently have.

Here is the latest on Greg Whittington and when he plans to choose a U as well as a report on his season so far:

http://columbia.patch.com/articles/boys-basketball-oakland-mills-greg-whittington-is-a-dominant-presence-on-the-court

It seems that he would be a nice fit at UMD and a Gary type player.  I wouldn't mind seeing him rockin' the rim at Comcast and dominating with JWill next year!

It appears as if "The Franchise" is finished with professional bball.

http://blogs.wsj.com/chinarealtime/2010/12/28/zaijian-franchise-we-hardly-knew-ye/

Maybe one fine day after he gets his life in order he can come back to UMD and be a bball recruiter.

Since Ralph's 74-50 W/L record, 4-2 W/L Bowl record, 2x ACC COY, 1x ACC Champion accomplishments weren't good enough for new AD Kevin Anderson and some other people,  the question now is what is the expected performance standard  for Mike Leach?

I say anything less than a NCAA Championship game and multiple ACC Championships will constitute a failure on Kevin Anderson for parting with Ralph and will be cause enough to give Kevin the unceremonial axe.

What says you?

 I love GV but these ill prototypes are a close 2nd:

UA should release these to the public asap as these blow the current UAs up!

With Baru at CoC, Greg Whittington might now be at the front of Gary's 2011 recruiting list  and he put on a show last night (in a losing effort).

If Greg puts up numbers like this every game - watch out............
