To be fair, there are but a few scholarships allotted for any collegiate basketball program. So one or two guys not making the five-year mark on graduation can really bring a program under uninformed scrutiny.
But the Maryland Terrapins are consistently in the lowest percentile of graduation rates, and are consistently on the local media’s hit [...]
The ESPN/USA Today preseason top 25 would have you believe that four teams in the ACC are better than the Terrapins.
North Carolina, yes. Duke, possibly. Clemson and Georgia Tech? No way in the world.

Maryland Terrapins basketball reeled in a big one today, receiving a commitment from four-star recruit Mychal Parker.
He’s got good size and good athleticism, which already puts him ahead of 98 percent of the Duke Blue Devils roster. Looks like Gary Williams didn’t take too kind to the bashing over the spring, and will exact [...]
The University of Maryland cut just over three percent of its athletic budget recently, which will result in a few more bus trips and a few less media guides for the athletic programs.

Impressed with the Mavs tonight. Refused to just go away quietly. Dirk really stepped up with 44 points. about 20 hours ago [...]
Baltimore Sun blogger Matt Bracken has the scoop on Lance Stephenson’s waffling and what it may mean for the Maryland Terrapins.
A lot of Terps faithful believe that Stephenson is a self-serving joke and has no business stepping onto a College Park campus. A one-and-done guy with deals lined up from here to Manhattan won’t fit [...]
