Jeff Haffley is leaving BC to become the Packers’ new defensive coordinator.

BC players are now free to transfer within a 30 day window. Will be interesting to see if Locks and AAR target anyone.

With their HC going to Green Bay, their players have 30 days to enter the portal. Anyone we might want to target if they enter the portal, maybe AAR being here might assist

Expanding to 15 teams each next year with the four West Coast schools coming on board.

That means, the bottom 3 will not get to play in the tournament.

After initially applying for a waiver to play college football next season, Taulia Tagovailoa is off to the NFL after his waiver was denied by the NCAA. Despite not a lot of draft buzz during the season, he was recently named among the top 200 draft prospects by PFF and is participating in this week's East-West Shrine Bowl. In all, two terps made their way onto the top-200 list and six Terps overall are playing in pre-draft bowls. More at the link below.

STORY

Well, for those saying they wanted to wait and see AAR actually land a big fish, you've now got some tangible results after just days on the job.

Humes is an elite DB who had a who's who list of offers. The thinking was that he'd take some time before making a decision and Maryland was able to close this one pretty quickly.

He's got the Terps squarely in the mix for North Caroline ATH Zymear Smith where they are going head-to-head with PSU and I really like Maryland's chances here.

AAR also has the Terps back in the picture with Good Counsel top-20 prospect Faheem Delane, who's already been back at Maryland since Aazaar took the job. He is still going to be an extremely tough pull, but they have a real chance here.

Here's an East Coast recruiting update with Delane and Smith both mentioned.

And then don't forget that the top local O-lineman attends Friendship Collegiate, the program that AAR started and still has very strong ties to.

This is really interesting.

Just finished watching the Wrestling team get beat by Penn State 42-6. Most Penn State wins where either by fall or Major decision. What is it going to take for Maryland to become significant in BIG 10 wrestling?

for what would be an extra year do to covid?

Sean Heine, a former baseball player put together a line of Terrapin jackets and hats that will benefit the Maryland Baseball Home Run Club. Money will be donated for each item sold. The store will be closing a week from today, February 5th. Place your order today to get some great looking gear and help our Terps defend the Big Ten title.

Here is the link:

First, a quirky betting trend - the last 4 teams to eliminate the Bills and QB Josh Allen in a playoff game are 0-4 straight up in the next game. Last year the Chiefs defeated the Bengals in the AFC Championship game the week after Cincy defeated the Bills and Allen.

Also, Mahomes is trying to set a postseason record of 6 straight playoff games without an interception (min. 20 attempts in each). That streak ends as Ravens will pick off at least 1, maybe 2. Chuck Clark and Tavon Young are the only Ravens ever with a pick of Mahomes, add Kyle Hamilton to the list Sunday.

Ravens 27 Chiefs 16

We're about a half hour away from tipoff inside Xfinity between the Terps and Huskers.

I mentioned my keys to the game HERE. Again, the biggest thing for Maryland will be running their three-point shooters off the line.

Today's game is a 'blackout' with a Guy Fieri theme (kinda weird, but ok). This is a huge opportunity for Maryland to get a top 50 win against a team that as of now would likely be in the NCAA tourney, as well as get back to .500 in league play.

It is also worth nothing the Huskers are 3-3 in their last six with all three losses coming on the road. And they willl be without starting forward Juwan Gary, who is out for the rest of the season.

Should be a good, but winnable game as long as the Terps can execute their gameplan.

The line as of my writing this post has the Terps as 5.5 point favorites.

Game can be seen on BTN.

I started following Ian this year in part to throw rocks at KW for misusing him behind Carey and then letting him go to USU. He’s a good player. Had 18 yesterday. That being said, he found a pretty good team. Osobor is a beast. They have 4 productive G’s also. It’s interesting following USU.

Kaiser did give me hope yesterday.

Oh look, ACC refs to the rescue again

I think this is a VERY winnable game for the Terps and the scouting report should be a fairly straight forward one, as well.

The No. 1 thing you have to do when playing Nebraska is run their three-point shooters off the line. That means really hustling and coming at those shooters on EVERY possession and really forcing them to take bad shots or take a dribble or two inside the line and shoot a mid-range jumper. It also means getting back in transition and getting right up on guys like Brice Williams, CJ Wilcher and Tominaga, who, when he's on is arguably the best three-point shooter in America. They shoot 36% as a team from beyond the arc, but more importantly, almost 45% of their shot attempts come from three-point land. Need to force them to dribble drive and try to get the ball inside to their bigs.

Starting forward Juwan Gary is out for the rest of the season which means Nebraska will have to rely even more on Rienk Mast inside and you now have a little used senior in Josiah Allick and little used freshman in Eli Rice trying to pick up the slack. Again, all the more reason to run them off the three-point line and force them to go inside.

Offensively, the Terps need to obviously just continue to let Jamir Young do his thing. But other than that, Donta Scott should have some opportunities to back down the freshman Rice in the post when he's in the game as that could be a bit of a mismatch. They could also run some baseline action to get him open for threes.

Finally, limit turnovers and hope that Reese dominates the matchup inside on both ends of the floor. I think this is a matchup where if they can just do the things they need to do defensively and play with max effort on that end and those three can doing the bulk of the scoring like they have been, they have an excellent shot at getting back to .500 in league play with some serious momentum heading into the home stretch of the season.
