It's nowhere near the blow some are making it out to be. Will hurt early in the year but by mid Jan we will be a pretty good team. Stoglin was the Carmelo of MD basketball. He took too many shots and the ball generally stopped moving when he touched it. When he was on he could carry a team, when he was off he hurt the team. Now last year, with our lack of talent who really cares if he didn't play good team ball because we weren't going to win anyway. It still drove Turg nuts, but ultimately it didn't make a difference. This year would have had to be different. I believe in the incoming freshmen and believe eventually they will make up for the loss of Stoglin.

ALl you need to know is the difference between how Stoglin and Parker have handled there suspensions. Parker transfers and goes out writing a letter praising Turg, the program, and the University. We see how Stoglin is apparently handling it with his tweets. Maturity vs immaturty, responsibility vs irresponsibility. There is no way Stoglin and Turg would have made this work next year. Stoglin is just too selfish and hard-headed. Better to wipe the slate clean and have good chemistry from the very beginning. We'll be better in the long run.

I agree with this 100%. Stoglin was a very good scorer when he was on, but he was a selfish player and with the influx of talent coming in, the program is better off in the long run without him.

We have the depth to do well this year without him. Faust is going to become a star this year. SCJ can be that deep threat from beyond the arc. We have plenty of big men to cause damage down low. Turgeon will do well this year with this Terps team.

He was facing a year long suspension for violating the student-athlete code of conduct so he's leaving.

Colossal blow to the program. Just speechless.

ST980 just said that Parker was also facing a year-long suspension for the code of conduct. I wonder what was going on...

It was pretty widely rumored that Parker enjoyed puffing the magic dragon.

(Not trying to spread rumors, I know nothing about it, just stuff I've read on various boards.)

Apparently Stoglin failed three drug tests. And Howard got arrested Saturday night.

Wow. Anyone who doesn't think losing Stogs is a big deal is crazy. I mean this guy carried us last year. I understand we have a big recruiting class but Allen and SCJ can't be expected to do everything. Faust is ideal at the wing and shouldn't have to be running any point at all and with Stogs gone and if Howard got arrested, Faust will still be running the point some. This is awful. Was hoping nothing like this would happen this offseason.

He also retweeted this: "@tstoglin12 will be very missed in CP! One day UMD will get it together and keep talent around...". The Terps will keep talent around? Like this is their fault? Just when I thought I couldn't hate this guy anymore...

So...a guy has somehow violated team rules, and they are going to "keep talent around"? Wow.

You "hate" a 20 year old kid?

I think he hates the way he carries himself and his attitude, along with his immaturity. I certainly hate all of those things about him, and now he is out of a college degree and a real chance at an NBA career.

Punishment that he can only blame himself for because of his immature actions.

I don't disagree that it's his own fault. But thanks for re-emphasizing the obvious. Any other lessons you want to impart (other than, you know, don't act like a punk or you'll chase us off your yard)?

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
