Gaither Gone
Well, it's official. OT Jared Gaither will leave school and enter his name into the upcoming NFL Supplemental Draft. It's not really a surprise, as I said before, but it still is a disappointment. His collegiate career didn't start out well when he failed to qualify out of High School. But he did eventually qualify after a year Hargrave Military Academy, coming into the program as a five star prospect. He had an excellent freshman season, but his sophomore season was marred by problems in the classroom and disappointing production, and followed it up with more academic trouble. Maybe he believed the people saying he was set to be a First Round pick this year. Who knows? It's just another case of wasted potential and lost money, but Gaither will still have a shot, most likely. If he works hard, he will play in the NFL, but as we've seen, that is not a certainty.
DJ to the Suns
As expected, DJ Strawberry was selected in the 2nd Round of the NBA draft, going 59th overall to the Phoenix Suns. After testing out well in the athleticism rankings and playing very well in the Orlando pre-draft camp, it had seemed to be a foregone conclusion that someone would take DJ. But as the night wound down, with only two picks left, he had still not been selected. Fortunately, the Suns stepped in and took him off the board a little after midnight.
For second rounders, contracts are not guaranteed. For that reason, the destination for those picked is more important than where a player is picked. The Suns are a seen as being a fantastic spot for Strawberry to land. DJ always thrived in the transition game during his time as a Terp, using his strong defense and his quickness to initiate breaks, where he is a very strong finisher. With the Suns' up and down style, DJ will fit right in with the team. And while Phoenix is a prolific offensive team, they lack on defense where Strawberry could help immediately.
While it isn't yet guaranteed that Strawberry will play in the NBA, it would seem to be almost a certainty. Of the 20 college players taken in the 2nd Round of the 2006 NBA draft, all but three saw action last season. Of those 17 that played in the Association last year, 10 played in at least half of their teams' games, with Craig Smith (formerly of Boston College) leading the way by appearing in
For Strawberry, making the NBA is something that not many would have expected when he came to Maryland in the fall of 2003. Strawberry came into the program as part of a highly regarded five man recruiting class with Mike Jones, Ekene Ibekwe, Will Bowers, and Hassan Fofana. Strawberry was perhaps the most lightly regarded of the five at the time. Jones and Ibekwe were top 30 recruits and Fofana was also a top 75 recruit.
Yet Strawberry was a key contributor from the start, due in no small part to his defense. It's no secret that Gary Williams values defense, especially in young players. It's no surprise then that Strawberry averaged nearly 20 minutes per game, ten more than McDonald's All American classmate Mike Jones.
The next season could have been a big one for Strawberry, but a torn ACL midway through the season limited his development and ended his season after 14 games. And when Strawberry came back for the 05-06 season, the team lacked a solid point guard option due to the early departure of John Gilchrist, forcing Strawberry into a role he was ill-suited to fill. Playing out of position Strawberry had a mediocre year on the offensive end, never quite mastering the position. Too many turnovers by DJ helped doom the team to a second straight NIT.
But this season was different. After declaring for the draft last year, Strawberry came back ready to lead the team back to respectability. Strawberry took over as the team's starting SF, winning multiple ACC Player of the Week Awards and earning 2nd Team All-ACC honors.
Strawberry will not have his jersey raised to the rafters, but he had a very solid career with the Terps, always showing intensity and always playing hard, especially on the defensive end. Here's to hoping that DJ's NBA career will be long and successful.

June News
It's actually been a pretty busy week in terms of news, but for some reason I haven't got around to posting about it yet.
First off, on Monday, Brian Walsh committed to Xavier. On the surface, it looks like a big blow. Walsh picked the Musketeers over the Terps and St. Joseph's, after it had seemed to be a formality to some that he would declare for the Terps this month. It also looked like Walsh was the coaching staff's top choice to fill the team's need for a pure shooting guard which had opened with Mike Jones graduating and Jeff Jones, once the shooting guard of the future, decommitting during last year's recruiting cycle.
But a story on Walsh's commitment from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette mentioned that:
Mark Schlabach had a story for ESPN saying that OT Jared Gaither is officially ineligible for the upcoming season. Disappointing news, but not terribly surprising to anyone that had followed the situation. The one interesting part was the claim that Gaither was leaning towards returning to school in hopes of regaining his eligibility for the 2008 season rather than declaring for the upcoming NFL supplemental draft. If true, it could be a huge boost to the 2008 team to have another very talented upperclassman to add to the mix. As it is the Terps figure to struggle with depth on the line this season without Gaither.

A few weeks ago, Walsh thought he might be close to choosing Maryland, which had offered a scholarship. But Walsh said the Terrapins held him off, telling him to hold off on a decision until July.This tidbit clearly shows the Terps weren't thinking of Walsh as the number one priority at all, despite having recruited him heavily for the past year. So where will the team turn now? The rumor mill is heating up, and it appears that the Terps might be in very strong shape with tough Baltimore shooting guard Sean Mosley (St. Frances Academy), with the team also recruiting Durham shooter Chris Turner as well. If the Terps can land Mosley - something that appears much more likely than it did even at the beginning of the month, it will be a huge recruiting success for the Terps, their biggest in some time.

Going and staying
With yesterday being the last day for underclassmen to withdraw their name from the NBA Draft and retain eligibility, there was a bit of news today, though not much that was unknown in ACC country. As expected, Virginia guard Sean Singletary will return to the Cavs for his senior year. On the other hand, Georgia Tech freshman Thad Young decided to stay in the draft, joining teammate Javarris Crittenton in leaving the Yellow Jackets after just one season.
The final scorecard on ACC early entries sees Young, Crittenton, Duke sophomore Josh McRoberts, and North Carolina freshman Brendan Wright leaving early for the NBA. Meanwhile, James Mays of Clemson will return to school in addition to Singletary.
The moves mean that Virginia will have a genuine chance to compete in the ACC rather than falling back to 3 or 4 win status. Georgia Tech might have been a favorite to finish second in the league behind North Carolina, but the loss of both of their super freshman make that less likely. GT will still have enough talent to compete, with everyone else coming back including the return of Lewis Clinch and a good incoming recruiting class.

2006-2007 in Review
Entering this season, the state of Terrapin athletics was very much a situation where the glass was either half full or half empty depending on how one chose to view it. On the positive side, the Terps were coming off a season where they won three NCAA Championships - men's soccer, women's basketball and field hockey. That success pointed to the overall strength of the Terps' programs.
But at the same time, the revenue sports, men's basketball and football, were both in the midst of a rocky stretch. Football was coming off back to back 5-6 seasons, having failed to qualify for a bowl either year. The men's basketball team won 19 games each of the previous two seasons, but had only 2 NIT berths to show for it, including one that culminated in a first round loss to Manhattan at home. Maryland was, at the time, one of a small handful of BCS programs to miss a bowl and the NCAA Tournament in each of the previous two seasons. Maryland hadn't missed a bowl and the Dance in the same year for 11 seasons.
In college sports, so much of the success can be attributed to the man in charge. I suppose that's true in any sport, but with college coaches ultimately responsible for both acquiring and developing the talent, they have a much larger role than other coaches. Luckily, Maryland has two outstanding coaches in Ralph Friedgen and Gary Williams.
Friedgen's football Terps set the tone for the year with a very strong 9-4 season, capped by a victory in the Champs Sports Bowl over Purdue. The Terps beat perennial powerhouses Miami and Florida State (albeit in down years for both) while also beating three other bowl teams. The season included thrilling, down to the wire wins over Miami, Florida State, Virginia, and Clemson. The team walked the tightrope between success and failure all year, at least until a 24-7 demolition of the Boilermakers down in Orlando to end the season on a high note.
While the last two years had been more successful for the basketball team than the football team (including an NIT Final Four appearance in 2005), more was expected from the basketball program. And rightfully so.
But the team responded. Fueled by the play of its three starting seniors as well as the play of three newcomers (and let's not forget the emergence of Junior James Gist), the Terps started the year strong with wins over Michigan State, Illinois, and Winthrop in November and December. The team looked to be headed for another NIT after starting the ACC season witha 3-6 record. But the team regrouped, running off seven straight ACC victories to end the season, including a sweep of Duke (their second in three seasons), as well as a victory over a top five North Carolina team. Despite a loss to Butler in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the Terps finished a very strong season with a 25-9 record - the team's best since the '02 National Championship squad.
But what of the non-revenue sports that had been so strong last year? Well, it was definitely a step back, but not a terrible effort.
The women's basketball team returned everyone from their National Title team, but while the season was good, it was ultimately very disappointing. The Terps failed to score a single win against rivals Duke and North Carolina, going 0-4 against the ACC's other flagship programs. The team still headed into the NCAA tournament with 27 wins, good enough for a #2 seed. But in the second round the Terps were dominated by Ole Miss to the tune of 29 turnovers in a surprising, but perhaps not completely stunning, upset. The team still finished with a more than respectable 28-6 record, but more was expected coming off of a championship.
The men's soccer team was not expected to repeat. The team suffered key losses after winning the championship, though they were still expected to be competitive in the brutal ACC. And competitive they were, getting the #5 seed overall in the NCAA tournament before being upset by Notre Dame 1-0 in OT in the Round of 16. The Terps failed to make their sixth College Cup appearance under Sasho Cirovski, but they did finish 16-5-1 as one of 7 ACC teams to qualify for the NCAA Tournament.
The third of the defending champions was Missy Meharg's field hockey team. And repeat they did, winning their fifth NCAA title with a 1-0 win over rival Wake Forest. The team finished 23-2, losing only to fellow Final Four participants Duke and Wake Forest (in the ACC Championship). Just another sport where the ACC showed off its superiority.
In lacrosse, the results were disappointing again. The men's team followed up its Final Four appearance from 2006 with a thrashing at the hands of its little brother UMBC in the first round of the tournament despite the Terps being one of eight seeded teams in the tournament. The women's team couldn't quite get back to where they were a few years ago, but they did finish the season 16-4 before being upended by #2 Penn in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals.
Baseball started out strong, winning enough early season games to think about having a nice season, but the team collapsed completely as the ACC season continued, finishing just 27-30, dead last in the Atlantic division, and once again failing to make the ACC Tournament. Even Brett Cecil, drafted 38th overall in the MLB Draft by the Blue Jays, was shaky, blowing a number of late leads throughout the season.
The wrestling program continued its rise to respectability with a second place finish in the ACC Championships after a regular season that saw the team go undefeated in duel meets within the conference.
Aside from that, it was a lean year in the non-revenue sports with the cross country, track, softball, golf, swimming and diving, volleyball and women's soccer teams bringing up the rear of the conference. But while that might seem to be a lot of teams that weren't competitive within the conference, it's important to note that Maryland sponsors every single sports contested in the ACC with exception of rowing. This in itself is a nice accomplishment, and hopefully one day the Athletic Department can be successful in building up the sports that lag behind competitively.
All in all, it was a solid season for Maryland athletics. Now let's improve on that in '07-'08 -- Go Terps!

Money Talk
The always excellent Turtle Waxing blog has an analysis of the revenue situation in the new ACC. Needless to say, with per school payouts staying the same after expansion - contrary to what Commissioner John Swofford claimed would happen - he isn't too kind to the people in charge. I'd disagree with the relative strength of the Big East as compared to the ACC, but it's hard to dispute the numbers he lays out. I've gotten used to the new ACC, but this is just another reason that expansion should never have occurred.
