I would say Maryland plays in a better conference, and (I believe) has better facilities than Georgetown. Plus aside from a week in March Maryland was the better team and usually is year to year.

Plus Mark Turgeon is just so dreamy.

Turgeon knows how to portal.

What's the big attraction of Maryland? Many better programs would have crawled over hot coals for this guy.

Imagine if they add Kadary

FATTS Russell?

That’s not fair Turgeon. THATS. NOT. FAIR.

Wow. How is that even an upgrade? Ewing should be justifiably pissed.

Maryland is almost always good and Georgetown is almost always below average in a weaker conference.

He is short good PG.

Turgeon addressed the two biggest keys in college hoops in one day.

We’re in need of a good guard. And this guys name is Fatts. Wasted opportunity imo.

Too small I play here though I suspect.

The name is just teasing you and OIG.

The fun potential that could have been.

Ewing keeps getting close to turning things around, but then he loses impact players and recruits like McClung and Wahab and Akinjo to other schools. Guy can’t buy a break.

How does that dude keep recruiting so well even though Maryland is usually pretty ho-hum in the tourney? Bags$$$?

Bayside and others would know better than me but I believe there is bad blood between these programs. Maryland won’t play Georgetown, if I remember correctly. They go head to head for recruits all the time.

It would be worse if Qudus went to Syracuse. But this is the second worse place the best player on the Hoyas could transfer to. But brutal to Pat, the rest of the coaches and the Georgetown fanbase.

Do they have a fanbase at all any longer?

Georgetown doesn’t want to play Maryland.
They believed Maryland owed them a home game.
Georgetown got them to play at Verizon in the Big East-Big Ten Gavitt games.

Georgetown didn’t like Maryland using their arena for that Feinstein BB&T Classic all those years.

Thompson didn’t like how Maryland negative recruited against Georgetown.

Georgetown doesn’t have a large fanbase so Maryland is the big dog in that region power wise even though in the 80’s Georgetown was the power.

Georgetown after JT2 has become less and less powerful because the fanbase for the small Catholic school is small.

Maryland owns the DC media market.

While it can’t be proven Maryland tampered here. It is obvious to anyone who uses their head what happened.

nope. And I think he's looking for a bigger role despite his play not really warranting it. Probably a low, mid-major C.

One of the all-time great names. It's a name that pops into my head sometimes out of the blue, for no reason at all.
