This is not so much a comment as it is a question. Can somebody "who actually knows", please explain the academic standards required to get into UMD? I am reading here on this site that kids can get into Duke ("Harvard of the South" as it has been called in the past), but can't get admitted into UMD because of grades or other academic problems. And I am reading that Debby Yow is the main road block in the effort to get these kids here, since she denies them because of academic reasons?  How is it that these kids can go to Duke or other "highly rated" academic schools, but not get in at MD. Has MD become the "Yale at the tail" (of  ACC basketball) or what. I am from MD but did not go to college or grad school here (out of state for both), but it sounds like I would not have been able to get in anyway from what some people are saying here on this site. It would be nice if someone could clarify all this academic talk down to the level that dodo's like me can understand.  Thanks.

Holsey Out at GA Tech.

Just released.....Holsey out the entire year at GA Tech with ACL tear. Bad for him...good for MD. I hate to see this for any athlete, but as far as this year is concerned, this is good for MD as this kid is a decent ball player for GT. Just a matter of attrition that happens to all teams. Happened to us as well, injuries that is. Got to deal with it as it is part of the game.

Just saw where Buie signed with Penn State after their NIT win. Oh well. Looks like Stoglin was a good catch. We better get what we can, by the way things are looking right now. It is getting really hard to tell what these kids are going to do with their commitments. The players we end up with may not even be on the Terps radar right now. Who knows. Hopefully Lance will sign and we can move forward.
