Message: [QUOTE="nyclax, post: 4122084, member: 8261"] Not sure it's quite the same. Maryland brought in two stars in Khan and Donville, both of whom are definitely going to play and eat up what would have been someone else's playing time. And while not a star (yet), Murphy is going to have a role and has 4 years of eligibility still. Gavin is probably the favorite to start but there's no way they are just penciling him in as the starter without competition especially since he wasn't there for fall ball. There's a difference between adding a guy to improve your depth at a position that was lacking vs. bringing in all the top talent that is humanly possible to bump out the homegrown guys who would have been in line for some sort of role otherwise. There is no way those guys are beating out Khan or Donville for playing time. Meanwhile Gavin is not like some star goalie. He started two games and did pretty good. He can be beat out. [/QUOTE]
