Coach Tillman Class of 2026 commits


This is the class so far. Maybe 1 or 2 additional. Class is interesting for several reasons.



1. There are no 5 stars , that is quite unusual for a Maryland class. Most of the 5 stars are ACC bound.


2. no defense or goalie.


3. only 1 member from the MIAA.

4. 2 additions from St Anthony. Those kids tend to go to Duke and the ACC.

Fact or Fiction: Malik Washington belongs back in the Rivals250

Was asked by the national team to answer this question over the weekend. Goes without saying, it is an absolute fact that Malik belongs back in the Rivals250. In fact, I'd be surprised if he doesn't re-enter at his highest ranking ever based on the start of the season for Spalding. They are absolutely destroying top national competition with the offense scoring at will. They beat DeMatha a few weeks ago and destroyed McDonogh last week 45-0. Malik is obviously a top athlete having starred at both football and basketball the past few years. But he is making ALL the throws right now and his accuracy is on point. If it hasn't been obvious to you guys for years now, other than maybe Haskins and Caleb Williams, there hasn't been another local QB where I just immediately knew he was a program changer the first time I saw the kid throw. This kid simply has 'it.' Based on their start, Spalding is well on their way to win a 3rd straight MIAA title with Malik under center and he's likely to see his stock soar. More at the link below.

Update on 2026 McDonogh OLB

An update on top 2026 McDonogh OLB/EDGE Nick Abrams II. He recently visited Georgia Tech and picked up a recent offer from Michigan State to go along with an offer from Penn State he picked up during the summer. But the relevant news here is that he will be in College Park next month for the USC game. That is looking like a big weekend for the football program both on the field and in recruiting.

STORY

Week 3 Open Thread

Wow, Norvell’s seat has to be flaming hot after today’s performance vs. Memphis. Guy literally went from the top of the mountain the end of the regular season last year to the flaming dumpster floating down the river today.

Bama looked like Bama of old today, cruising past Wiscy in Madison.

Michigan still struggling.

Illinois looking surprisingly good this year, moving to 3-0 with today’s win.

Trader Jr. named B1G Defensive Player of the Week

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Maryland senior defensive back Dante Trader Jr. has been named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday.

Trader Jr. led the Terps defense with a career-high tying 11 tackles, an interception and a pass break-up in Maryland's 27-13 win at Virginia this past Saturday. The interception was the fifth of Trader's career.

Led by Trader Jr., the Maryland defense came up huge in the second half of the game against the Cavaliers. The Terps held Virginia scoreless and only gave up 82 total yards in the second half.

In total, Maryland’s defense created four turnovers against the Cavaliers and now leads the nation with a +9 turnover margin.

Trader is the first Terp to earn Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week since Tarheeb Still on Nov. 13, 2023.

Maryland is set to host Villanova this Saturday at SECU Stadium. The game, which will be part of Family Weekend on campus, is set to kickoff at Noonand will be broadcast on Big Ten Network and the Maryland Sports Radio Network.

Guess the Time and TV Week 5 9/28 @ Indaina

Tomorrow around lunchtime we'll get word. Here's what we already know as the B1G is all Conference Play at this point:

Friday night: Washington at Rutgers 8 pm Fox

Louisville at Notre Dame 3:30 pm NBC

Nebraska at Purdue Noon (no TV assigned, Purdue Homecoming)

Illinois at State Penn 3:30/4/7:30 pm (no TV assigned, State Penn Homecoming)

Minnesota at Michigan

Oregon at UCLA

Wisconsin at USC

aOSU at Michigan State

This is going to be a tough one to slot. Illinois is at Nebraska this Friday night in the Fox primetime slot. Which is why Illinois at State Penn might get optioned as the Kid Toucher Cult has their last OOC Cupcake this coming Saturday to save it for the NBC slot on Saturday with two undefeated teams. State Penn is saving their White Out for Washington on November 9th and the last time Illinois was in Sappy Valley they pulled off a major upset.

Does Nebraska and Purdue warrant Fox Big Noon? Though that might compete with OKST and KST on the Big 12 side and force that to BTN. I never thought Marshall at aOSU would warrant Fox Big Noon but it did.

aOSU at MSU just smells like See-BS to me, especially with MSU likely being undefeated heading into that game. Plus MSU has a history of giving aOSU fits in East Lansing.

Oregon at UCLA and Wisconsin at USC seem like games prime for later BTN/Fox/FS1 slots. Wisconsin at USC could be optioned for NBC to see if the Huskers knock off the Illini.

The Bruins getting blasted by the Hoosiers last night makes me think they won't get on NBC again this season.

I'm thinking we get a 3:30 pm kickoff for this. Either BTN or FS1. Outside chance we land at Noon on BTN.
