the face of the "stay at home movement", our break through blue chip recruit gets drafted in the 5th round. Don't think other schools are not going to use that against us "Maryland takes top 10 recruits and turns them into late round draft picks".
Maryland Football is never going to win the recruiting rat race against the bigger programs for 4 and 5 star talent. Edsall's strategy to have an ace recruiter at OC and try to build this program through recruiting is destined to fail.
Maryland football will become a top 20 program one of two ways:
1. Find a Mark Dantonio/Bill Snyder "coach em up" type who can take a roster full of 2 and 3 star guys and develop enough of them into studs and solid contributors.
2. Find a offensive guru type like Art Briles/Mike Leach and win with a roster full of 2 and 3 star guys with offensive scheme supremacy.
Maryland Football will never be a destination for elite recruits or at least not until we become a top 20 program, which only happens if we start winning with 2 and 3 star recruits first.
