We complain about a lot of things as Terps fans - and sometimes with good cause - but one thing we’ve been fortunate to have over the last decade is strong lead guards. From Melo to Cowan to Fatts to Young - they have had different styles and strengths, but overall have been highly effective in leading us. We had one year where we got by with an upperclassman committee and duct tape (Ayala, Morsell, and Hart) but other than that blip, we’ve been very fortunate. But next year?? We are in a heap of trouble as it stands now. We don’t have the roster strength to overcome weakness at this position in any way (which should be obvious to us all now). When Young is gone… yikes! Our supposed 2nd best player, Reese, has put up a combined 1 point in two of our biggest games. I think we will continue to struggle this year… but if we don’t land Queen and an impact lead guard in the portal… then next year might be the ugliest year we’ve seen since…???
