When you can't recruit the hottest area for basketball that's a problem. We've turned into Overseas U

Maryland has no players from the DMV for the first time ever. It's understandable, given that the AD, coach, and entire roster is new since last season. They do have the son of Steve Blake, a legendary Terrapin.

It will be weird cheering for whoever happens to be wearing jerseys that have "Maryland" on the front. I don't know how that's going to go down for me. Today's college athletics landscape is bizarro world, and much less appealing and interesting (to me) than in the past...

ETA: Just noticed that Maryland has two Jersey boys. It's all so odd...

We are not in the hottest area for recruiting. NYC hoops is not what it was and NJ is a very good, but not great state for talent.

But I would like a couple jersey guys.
