UMD's top two recruits expected to flip to Ohio State

QB Dwayne Haskins and linebacker Keandre Jones are both expected to flip to Ohio State today.

This would be a massive blow to the Terps. There's been so much positive momentum for the football program lately with the new coaching hires, new facilities upcoming and excellent recruiting class. Dwayne Haskins was a huge part of that momentum.

Maryland has apparently already begun recruiting other QBs.

Another brilliant move by Anderson. Unless you were bringing in Chip Kelly, why change horses midstream and lose program builders like this? Plain TDM (Total Dumb Management).:cool:

I'd rather not have Haskins if it meant I had to keep Edsall he was one of the worst football coaches in the nation. He reminded me of the Bob Wade era in UMD Hoops

Haskins decision had nothing to do with Edsall. It was because Locksley is likely leaving because of Durkin's hiring. Haskins was a Locksley guy; not an Edsall guy.

If Edsall stayed, Locksley is still here. So, basically same thing, Edsall had to go and a lot of Locksley's recruits are probably moving on.. Nature of the business

No recruit is bigger than the program. You don't continue with a lame duck, bad coach, because it allows you to keep a recruit. If a move is going to be made, it should be made.

And it's not like Haskins was some generational talent. Yeah, he was a 4 star recruit. But he wasn't regarded as being the best QB recruit in years. The Beano Cooks (RIP) of the world aren't saying he was going to win 2 to 3 Heismans. This looks bad in terms of "The Movement," but not because MD lost the kind of talent that won't come around again for years.

So in other words these two kids don't want to play? They would rather sit on OSU's bench? If they aren't on board with what is going on at Md then so be it.

I agree with this post! This may have been a poor move on Haskins part. He was almost guaranteed to start for Maryland. But with OSU depending on who they decide to go with. He may not get to start for a year or two. But on the other hand I doubt he would have made the move without assurances.

Tomorrow is National Signing Day. Looks like the Terps are going to grab Tyrrell Pigrome, a 3 star QB from Alabama:

Would be a nice addition after losing Haskins.

The Terps are also in the mix for 4 star DE Terrell Hall, though Alabama is the heavy favorite.

    • I saw Johnson pitched 4 scoreless innings fur Bowie tonight.   4 hits, 2 walks,  3 strikeouts.   He has a 3.00 ERA on the season. 
    • We’ll always have the no-hitter…
    • Do we know what his velocity was today? I know he doesn't light up the gun but was he at his normal? 
    • Longterm he’s probably that missing RH SU/MR that we’ve been looking for since the Fuji trade.  It’s probably Suarez vs Ramírez vs Tate for 1-2 bullpen spots. Wells and one of Irvin/Means could be in the bullpen mix as well.  Depth is good to have. I wouldn’t sleep on Ramirez either. Elias has shown a knack from adding relievers through trade or waivers. 
    • There's not a single high level prospect on the team he pitched against tonight and even the one out he got was crushed
    • Let’s tap the brakes on his move to the bullpen. His stuff plays and he can get outs. Best of all, he doesn’t walk anyone. He challenges hitters and gets weak contact. With our defense, I’d rather him give up the occasional double or flared hit to the outfield than to see walks. Keep him in the starting rotation until he proves he doesn’t belong. Wells and Irvin both have experience in the pen and frankly for Irvin, though I love him, has a real tough time throwing strikes at times.    anyway, let’s see what the old dog can do.
    • I could see Suarez sticking in a bullpen role long term with the movement on his fastball. Also he might be able to throw a 2 to 3 more MPH harder not having to worry about trying to pitch six innings. The Orioles have done a good job finding pitchers who weren't expected to do much in recent years and it would be cool if Suarez is another find.
