From somebody in College Park who would know regarding Terps chances: "Not happening, not a big loss." This exact response from Terps followers after they lose out on a recruit is as predictable as our tournament flameouts.

Coincidence that he is announcing so soon after JTIII's conversation with mom? I think tonyparker had the announcement date as early as 3/12. Was that right after III's visit?

But they have re$ ources we don't. id, you seem to think everyone recruit who doesn't choo$e the Hoyas is being paid? i can't remember one we lost out on where you didn't post something like this. Sometimes a kid just chooses to go elsewhere, no? Depends where they go. Sadly good chance he is right tho...

I don't think anyone claimed TJ Warren or Pollard were unduly influenced. Kids wanted to stay close to home, and you wish them well. Maybe I am mistaken.

Sometimes a kid just chooses to go elsewhere, no? We definitely lose some kids straight out, but Morgan has a "handler" and UNLV doesnt have the best track record with that kind of thing. I tend to think UNLV has been a done deal for a little while now, but Georgetown and Maryland were consistently mentioned in order to create a sense of suspense around the announcement. I believe daymondmiles mentioned this first.

haha, what a joke. Most unexciting announcement ever. Would like us to lock up a PG or Center though pretty soon so maybe we can have a little boost off this season. Pinson definitely not coming here so wouldn't even waste time there, but Bentil seems like more our style.

I don't understand how every kid we lose out on to schools like Kentucky, UNLV, Syracuse and other programs is deemed corrupt or looking for and cutting a deal with the program selected. We tried. We Lost. Move on. If the kid has been influenced by $ from other schools, then it not only speaks poorly of the kid, his handlers and those other schools but also of the Hoya program for continuing to recruit the kid, knowing that he and his representatives are looking for a "deal."

I hate to sound too Maryland-y, and I'm usually not one of these guys, but not convinced this will be a significant loss. Lot of people love Morgan's potential, but he doesn't look like anything special in his highlights. I'm ok with it either way--if he's a bust, then we're smart for not giving him a scholarship. If he is great for UNLV, no big deal--it's not Maryland, and we rarely compete with UNLV for recruits, on the court, or in any other way.
Hoping to hear good things on Bentil or Lattin this spring/summer. Some point guards also.
