Damn those Terrapin bagmen I swear
December 18th, 2019 at 6:23 PM ^
that must have taken a lot of zeros. . .

This makes sense when you consider the prolific Maryland passing attack over the last decade.
December 18th, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
who could say no to catching passes from their 3rd or 4th string QB after they are depleted by injuries three games into the season? #angryMarylandQBhatinggod
December 18th, 2019 at 11:57 AM ^
Cue the: the second loss at LSU today. Whats going on down there?
December 18th, 2019 at 11:59 AM ^
My guess is most believe that this is a flash in the pan for LSU and they're more likely to go 8 and 4 most years
December 18th, 2019 at 12:11 PM ^
Do you believe 17 and 18 yr old kids think like that? Especially ones that end up signing with Maryland?
December 18th, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
If he doesn't want to go to LSU because he is afraid of going 8-4, why on Earth would he go to Maryland to go 6-6 or worse every year?
December 18th, 2019 at 12:33 PM ^
A kid afraid of going 8-4 isn't going to Maryland.
December 18th, 2019 at 1:35 PM ^
Maybe they're not afraid of 6-6.
December 18th, 2019 at 2:58 PM ^
Michigan ?
December 18th, 2019 at 12:35 PM ^
Right, that totally explains it.
December 18th, 2019 at 1:21 PM ^
Even if that were true, that doesn’t explain Maryland
December 18th, 2019 at 11:59 AM ^
Sometimes guys just like playing closer to home. I guess you can sell him on Stefon Diggs. "Hey man. We sucked when Diggs was here too and he turned out fine"
December 18th, 2019 at 3:37 PM ^
Diggs should have been on at least three of our teams that sucked. What about us?
December 19th, 2019 at 7:18 AM ^
Yep, and immediate playing time.
December 18th, 2019 at 12:05 PM ^
To the highe$t bidder they go !

Sure you're in the right place, man?
December 18th, 2019 at 1:13 PM ^
And, for all we know, someone close to him may have an illness or a need that he thinks staying close would be nice. BTW, he referenced Stefon Diggs in his decision to “stay home”.
December 18th, 2019 at 1:37 PM ^
I assume the distance from home played a factor, but why MD instead of PSU? Happy Valley is only a few hours away. MD is not even taken seriously inside the beltway, so this is still a head scratcher.
December 18th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
Plenty of people in DC don’t have the money and/or time to drive and Take overpriced hotel hours away five or six times a year, much less one. .
December 18th, 2019 at 6:34 PM ^
You don't stay committed to LSU for that long only to flip to Maryland at the last second because you decided to stay close to home. That's not how people think
December 21st, 2019 at 6:25 PM ^
People ain’t gonna be realistic
December 18th, 2019 at 7:57 PM ^
I'm sure being a big fish in a little pond played no small part in his choice of Maryland.
December 18th, 2019 at 12:16 PM ^
what in the actual fuck
December 18th, 2019 at 12:18 PM ^
To all those screaming bagmen, I'm not going to speculate into how much that factored into this kid's recruitment. But there's no denying that Locksley has some recruiting magic in him. He flipped a couple of 4 stars after he took over last year, and this year he has the Terps up to #27 in the 247 composite. Coupled with the fact Jarrett is from DC, it's not just about $$$ (if any).
December 18th, 2019 at 12:23 PM ^
And they still didn't look like they improved last year.
December 18th, 2019 at 12:32 PM ^
I was just saying that he's a good recruiter. He just finished his first season. Most if not all of the players he recruited haven't seen the field yet.
December 18th, 2019 at 12:22 PM ^
Chew on this boys. OSU has a great class based on everything we have heard. They av. 91.88.
The top 6 classes in the SEC all have a 90 or better average.
1. Bama 93.3
2. LSU 92.9
3. UGA 93.6
4. TAMU 91.27
5. Auburn 90.8
6. Florida 90.04
OSU 91.88
UM 89.7
December 18th, 2019 at 1:11 PM ^
There are a number of kids in OSU's class that are ranked lower than what we're used to seeing, and some of those kids have been committed for awhile now (meaning they weren't last minute fill-ins). Time will tell how it all works out, but they've had good luck with 3-stars lately...
December 18th, 2019 at 12:24 PM ^
That is a pretty shrewd move. Get the LSU, Bama, and OSU bagmen after you while keeping it under wraps that you want to play for the instate team.
December 18th, 2019 at 12:25 PM ^
Over/under on the number of years until he enters the transfer portal???
December 18th, 2019 at 12:30 PM ^
Years? Maybe weeks!
'Member that dude that signed with USC, transferred to Texas after a few weeks, and then back to USC after a few months? Also a WR. Primadonnas
.
December 18th, 2019 at 12:39 PM ^
Wonder if he's just worried about being homesick.
If that's not it, then there's more to this story. A five star recruit doesn't de-commit from the favorite to win the national title (a team that has finally found its offensive footing, and in a big way) and go to an annual Big Ten doormat just because. I doubt this is a situation of LSU "cooling" on him and encouraging him to look elsewhere. Second best WR in his class.
Hope things work out for him, though. Except when he plays Michigan.
December 18th, 2019 at 12:42 PM ^
When was the last time we had a high-end recruit flip to us at the last minute, instead of the other way?
December 18th, 2019 at 12:45 PM ^
Technically, that would be Dax Hill.
December 18th, 2019 at 1:01 PM ^
Forgot about Dax. Downvoted myself appropriately.
December 18th, 2019 at 12:46 PM ^
Dax Hill, all the way back in (checks notes) 2018.
December 18th, 2019 at 12:49 PM ^
Dax Hill, 2019 Class. Flipped from Alabama to Michigan.
December 18th, 2019 at 12:44 PM ^
This makes sense.
December 18th, 2019 at 12:51 PM ^
I like the move by this young man. He'll get a chance to develop (as a person) in a more sane, less football obsessed environment. Plus, DMV > podunk Louisiana by a wide margin. Home is a strong pull.
December 18th, 2019 at 3:13 PM ^
Wow that's some serious ignorance you're spewing. Only an idiot would say that playing in the DMV area is better for a young player's future than in the South.
December 18th, 2019 at 3:43 PM ^
The serious ignorance is in your reading comprehension. I clearly stated that he'll be afforded the opportunity to develop as a person in a less football crazed environment. Even for student-athletes, going to college should be about the development of the entire person and not just the athlete.
And, though Louisiana is a fine state, and LSU is a good university, the DMV area is more diverse, more prosperous, more cultured, more educated. Only an idiot fails to recognize that.
December 18th, 2019 at 3:13 PM ^
Wow that's some serious ignorance you're spewing. Only an idiot would say that playing in the DMV area is better for a young player's future than in the South.
December 18th, 2019 at 1:08 PM ^
This really only makes sense if there's a top QB in their pipeline as well.
December 18th, 2019 at 1:17 PM ^
i just came here for the bagmen hot take narratives
December 18th, 2019 at 1:40 PM ^
The man from Maryland showed up with a larger bag.
