Welcome back to both players and glad to have you back! Now it's onto working hard and getting back to where the program belongs.
DFW, thought the same thing--maybe we'd see a glimpse of new uniform but we do need something to be a surprise right? ;D

There's been too much good news recently. We need something to bring us down a bit, keep our expectations in check around here. My guess? The new unis are going to be AWFUL.
(I don't honestly think that, its just that given our track record and our disappointments the past few years, I'm not used to going this long without some bomb dropping.)

I'm expecting, at the very least, a 4th place finish in the conference...
Trip to the Big East tourney semis...
A close loss in the NCAA second round...
Just another step in the right direction to re-building a solid program...
I hope they can prove me wrong and sneak into the Sweet 16...

I think pretty much everybody will have to work VERY hard to get the PT they want on this team. If the incoming guys are all as good as we hope, then there will be a lot of competition for playing time.....any slackers will be pushed to the end of the bench. What a plus this will be if it pushes Owens to the top of his game on a consistent basis.

I was listening to Kornheiser's radio show yesterday morning when their newsbreak announced that Bowman and Owens would be back next year. Mr. Tony himself, who does not really follow sports except as an amusement these days, said that he thought Georgetown would be very good next year.
What was more notable was that he also said that he had heard Georgetown just received a commitment from the best player in Baltimore, and wasn't that interesting because Baltimore has been Terp territory for many years now. I am sure that Tony did not get that information from scouring Hoya Report, so I have to believe he has heard all of this from his buddy Gary Williams, and the thought of beating him out for someone he wanted from Maryland's backyard was pretty satisfying.

Baltimore is not really Terp territory nor it is Maryland's backyard. Baltimore identified more with G'town back in the day due to Lefty's and Bob Wade's tension, and Wingate and Reggie coming to GU. Terps are are a lot closer to D.C. than they are to Baltimore. I wouldn't consider Baltimore a Terp hotbed. Its not like the Terps get several players out of Baltimore like G'town got several players out of D.C. back in the day. |

Having grown up in Crabtown, I know that Baltimore has always closely followed Terp hoops, starting when Lefty built the program around Len Elmore and Tom McMillen in the early 70s. MD games are on WBAL-1090 (football also) and the Sun extensively covers UMD athletics (far more so than GU, which is loathed in Charm City because of its location in DC among other reasons). There's more MD gear in Bmore sports stores than that of any other school.... If anything, the Wingate/Williams GU enrollments were exceptions to the rule and were largely due to 1) Ewing's presence and 2) Wade's closeness to JT2. Ever since Wade flamed out at MD, GU hasn't captured the hearts or imagination of most Bmore hoop fans.... Which makes the Summers commitment all the more impressive. III's on his way to reclaiming the "area" meaning all of MD/DC/VA (hint, hint, Vernon Macklin).... |

One of my friends at Georgetown is from Baltimore, and his allegience to Marlyand athletics hasn't faded, in fact he has no interest in Georgetown hoops because he is still loyal to the Terps. Some of my other Baltimore friends do go to GU games, but seemed to care more about Maryland beating Duke than anything the Hoyas did. MD certainly has a strong presence in Baltimore.

Georgetown probably has more support in Richmond than Baltimore. The Sun ignores Georgetown consistently (and with the rise of the Nats, the Sun is even less likely than to pump up any DC teams). More to the point, Georgetown has no regular radio or TV presence in Baltimore City or Baltimore County. The Georgetown radio network isn't a network at all-other than getting WTEM on the "skip" or dialing up WWBH  , there is no regular access to games in most of Maryland. If Georgetown really wants to build its base, sign up some radio and TV affiliates in Baltimore, Salisbury, and Hagerstown, then head south down 95 to Fredericksburg, Richmond, and the Tidewater. |

Gtown gets mixed support from Richmond...but really that is UVA, VTech, Richmond and VCU country....and having grown up in downtown Richmond, let me reveal my stripes and say, for the record, let's go Rams! |

You go to anywhere in the City, not Catonsville,not Towson, not Dundalk, not Bel Air, but in Baltimore City itself, and it is not a Terp basketball town. I'll stand by that. I'll stand by what I said, the reason why Baltimore liked G'town "BACK IN THE DAY" when Wingate and Williams came on board, part of it was because Wade and Lefty had beef. Around THAT time. I'm not talking back in the 70's. In terms of basketball, Maryland has had 3 players, Keith Booth,Rodney Elliot, and Juan Dixon from Baltimore in the last 10 years. That is not necessarily a hotbed of recruits from Baltimore for the Terps. If Baltmore City is Maryland's hotbed, then there should be more than just 3 recruits from Baltimore City (Booth being the only highly-touted one) in 10 years. Other Big East and ACC basketbal schools have landed more Baltimore recruits than Terps have in the last 10 years. Getting Summers as a recruit is great because the kid is highly-touted, not because we are a stealing so-called "Terp" recruit. |

Getting Summers as a recruit is great because the kid is highly-touted, not because we are a stealing so-called "Terp" recruit. There's a difference between attracting city recruits to play at your school and the nature of the city's fan base. Go to any sporting goods store in Baltimore City and note how much Terp-wear is in stock vs. that of any other school, including GU. Turn on sports-radio in Bmore in March and hear what school is being discussed (it ain't GU for sure). Turn on TV sports among Bmore news stations and which college is most highlighted? Pick up the Sun college sports section and who is most featured prominently? Do you really think Summers' signing would have been posted in the inside of the section along with other stories if he had signed with MD; hell no, it would have been on the front page of the Sports section. Besides Braswell, name another city recruit GU has pulled from Bmore since Wingate and Williams were on the Hilltop?! And quite frankly, the overall level of bball recruits (Melo aside and he really doesn't count since he's originally from NYC) in Bmore hasn't been at the level that MD or GU would want to sign in the last 10 years or so, Rudy Gay being the biggest exception. Yes, many Bmore city bball talents haven't flocked to MD. But that doesn't deny the intense media coverage and attention MD gets inside and, as you admit, outside Baltimore City among fans and commentators. Don't bother answering, just end the delusions and madness... |
