From DBR: Taran and Me

Diamondback Russ just posted this under another thread, but I thought I would add give it its own thread.
“I just got back from the Bishop Maginn HS game. Taran Buie somehow scored 23 points. I say “somehow” because I don’t know where they came from. I was stunned when the I saw the [...]

DBR Recruiting Report 12/19/2008

Gary Williams and Rob Ehsan were in New York last Saturday, watching Taran Buie’s Bishop Maginn squad beat Tobias Harris’s Long Island Lutheran team 63-60. Buie scored 24 points while Tobias Harris was held to 13 points. Harris had foul trouble (3 fouls before halftime) and Bishop Maginn double teamed him whenever he had [...]

DBR Update 12/12/2008

As reported yesterday, the Terps thin front line got thinner as Jerome Burney is out anywhere from 3-6 weeks with a stress fracture on the bottom of his foot.  Let’s all wish Rome a full and speedy recovery.  If you’re looking for a silver lining in this injury take solace in the fact that after [...]

DBR Recruiting Update – 12/05/2008

The Terps are quite active on the trail for top talent in the class of 2010, and they’re also quietly working on the class of 2011 and 2012 but for today here’s an update on the class of 2010:

Pe’Shon Howard was at UMD for a two day unofficial visit last week. Howard is a 6-2 [...]

Big Terps Weekend and DBR report

Tonight is the start of huge weekend for Terps fans. Aside from a “are we able to beat mid-major teams by 20 points consistently” game against Vermont tonight; the Football Terps square off against Florida State for a must-win game.
Vermont is likely a Tournament team come March. However, if tonight’s game winds up [...]

DBR update 11/7/2008

The Terps definitely laid an egg last night. Cosh has to go. He’s going against a QB with a bum ankle and he doesn’t blitz? What is wrong with him? Force the QB to beat for chissake!
The Terps still control their own destiny. If they can take care of business [...]

DBR Update – 10/31/08

Happy Halloween folks.
Not much going on this week with the football team on bye and basketball season yet to get underway.  I’ve been trying to write a basketball preview for weeks and I just can’t seem to a get a sense of this team.  I’m sure I’m not the only one. It will be a [...]

A Note from DBR – 10/24/08

Before we get into DBR’s latest from the recruiting trail; the Terps need to care of business on Saturday. No excuses. If we aren’t 6-2 24 hours from now, I am giving up on the season (not really, but I am damn tired of the inconsistency).
As for the updae, I can’t tell you [...]

DBR Update and Midnight Madness

Ladies and Gentlemen, the 2008-09 Maryland Terrapins Men’s Basketball Team!
Tonight is the start of what is surely to be one of the most unpredictable basketball seasons in recent memory for our Terps. Nothing would surprise. We could finish 4-12 in conference (unlikely), or we could finish 12-4. Will our backcourt experience key victories [...]

A Note From DBR – 10/10/08

Here’s the latest installment of our new Friday Feature:
Not much to report today that I haven’t covered during the course of the week.  In the Jordan Williams sweepstakes, it’s Maryland or St. John’s, and a decision is expected next week.  It appeared the Terps were in the driver’s seat after Williams’ visit but St. John’s evidently did [...]
