This is a developing story, but this is what I have from the press release:
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – University of Maryland head basketball coach Gary Williams announced Monday (April 28) that freshman forward Shane Walker (Northampton, England/Montrose Christian) has decided to transfer. Walker will finish the spring semester at Maryland and leaves the program in [...]
I am shocked. I noticed a few comments in the last post about Erin Henderson and I thought I should at least make mention of this surprising turn of events. I saw draft previews and mock drafts that had Henderson going as high as late in the 2nd round, but mostly in the 3rd-5th rounds.
Nobody [...]
The date to declare for the NBA draft is two days away and still no word from Senor Greivis Vasquez. All indications (and by that I mean Diamondback Russ) are that Vasquez will indeed declare himself eligible.
Now, before Terps nationwide go bonkers; it is important to understand that Vasquez is 99% likely to return to [...]
This off-season is barely a month old and already it is proving to be one for the books. Between the musical chairs occurring with the incoming class (Maze and Evans), rumors of players transferring (Hayes), or going pro (Vasquez); the message boards have been full of chatter. Oh and I forgot to mention that our [...]
This is a developing story, but it appears that Tyree Evans will sign with Maryland when the national signing period begins tomorrow. This came out of nowhere and just like anything having to do with the Terps program these days; this story has good and bad to it.
The Good: His juco coach claims “he could [...]
I think I am starting to lose control of this blog. When I am checking my own blog for updates from Diamondback Russ; I think it is safe to say I am no longer in control. I have to say that I love it. Keep up the great work, Russ.
Now, back to my 12-part series [...]
Braxton Dupree was by all accounts, the most heralded recruit in the Terps Class of 2007.
And here are the stats he turned in:
2.5 ppg
278minutes played
8 games started
2.2 rpg
9 blocks
Not exactly living up to the “heralded” moniker, eh?
The Terp that Dupree is most often compared to, Lonny Baxter, turned in the following stats during his inaugural [...]
If you haven’t already seen it, Andy Katz came out with his always meaningless Top 25 for next season. Of course Maryland wasn’t on the list. I didn’t expect it to be. But, the thing with these lists that invariably come out as soon as the season ends is that they are based on historical [...]
Sure, Kansas deserves praise for their valiant comeback last night. Superintendent Chalmers hit one of the most clutch threes in the history of college basketball. When the chips were down, they demonstrated greatness.
However, I didn’t title this post to praise them. In fact, it has nothing to with college basketball and everything to [...]
Most sportswriters are busy dissecting the merits of the Kansas Jayhawks and the Memphis Tigers in an effort to hypothesize who will emerge victorious tomorrow night. I say, who cares about the handicapping? The real question is which team is worth your rooting support?
The University of Kansas draws its basketball bloodlines straight from [...]
