After the departure of his two top scorers and two frontcourt reserves, Mark Turgeon hasn't been successful in a season he typically dominates - spring recruiting
Accurate but sad article! Maybe let Damon Evans recruit? The way he kept his job, and got promoted, after Durkin got fired...seems like he can sell anything! Maybe we need a new arena or change conferences.
Before you publish you really need to verify whom was actually offered. Also, remember when you got personal with Turgeon writing after the second football game on social media that "Locksley's offense is averaging more points than Turgeon's offense." Instead of writing Maryland's offense you had to take a shot and say "Turgeon's offense." That didn't go over to well with the team and immediately after you wrote that the Terps unfortunately lost their football game to Temple. The rest of the season was disaster. Since joining the B10 for basketball only Wisconsin, Purdue, and Michigan State have a better in conference record than the Terps. The Terps have a better record than Indiana, Michigan, Ohio St, Iowa and Illinois and five other schools. Granted the recruiting this spring has not gone well and they need to pick it up. But why don't you wait until the summer is over and see if they sign a big man before taking your continued shots at Turgeon. If they don't sign a post your criticism is warranted.
