Maryland-Clemson Preview

On Saturday, The Maryland Terrapins head to Clemson to take on the Tigers, one of the Terps first real tests of the season. This game could also tell us if Maryland is for real or not. Right now Maryland is 1st in the ACC and Clemson is tied for 7th. Clemson currently sits at 3-4 in the ACC and 15-6 overall. Their top 3 scorers are Trevor Booker:16.0, Demontez Stitt:11.2, and Tanner Smith:10.1. Out of all of them I'm probably the most scared of Trevor Booker, the 6-7 senior from Whitmire, South Carolina who is averaging 16 points, 8 boards, and 2 assists( Pretty good for a big man). The dude is a manchild, if you dont think so just look at this . There is another video of him posterizing Maryland but I'd rather leave that out. He will be a guy we have to at least limit in this game, because it's almost impossible to stop him. If we can at least limit him, there is a good chance we can win the game. Another thing that could effect the game is whether or not Demontez Stitt plays or not. Stitt has missed time since Clemson played N.C. State and he is their #2 scoring option, look for him to probably play. Remember the game is at Clemson so that could also be a factor. I think Maryland will win by 6 in this one, 69-63. What do you guys think?

Fear the Turtle

Haha, Terps fans are goin to like this. ESPN.com recently came out with their power rankings and Maryland was ranked 25. Where do you see Maryland in the next power rankings if we win our next 2 games? I could see them possibly being in the 10-15 area.

Update

Maryland was recently added to Joe lunardi's bracket on ESPN.com. They are a 13 seed that plays Purdue. They are also receiving votes on the top 25 now.

Espn updates Football rankings

Today, Espn.com updated there football recruiting rankings. I can't post them because it's for insiders only, sorry. But I will tell you that Maryland wasn't in there.

Kearse Commits

2010 football recruit Desmond Kearse committed to Maryland today. Good pickup for the Terps.

Could Leslie be the All-American About to Commit?

You guys know that rumor that has been going around about a " sure-fire McDonald's All-American" committing to Maryland. Could that man be a certain C.J Leslie? From what I have heard it could be. Leslie is rumored to be visiting Comcast this month.With Terrence Jones seeming more and more like a Kentucky lean, that could push Leslie towards Maryland. Hopefully this is true!
