Tonight there is a special guest at the game.

The number 9 recruit in the country Lance Stephenson is a shooting guard who many feel is a great talent. Some feel that he could be the #1 recruit, but mental issues are holding him back.

Even though Rivals.com and ESPN are not saying Maryland is one of his choices, he is at the game and there is a small chance that he might come here. He might also go to his local school St. Johns University.

Mental issues? Like he's crazy? If so, I imagine there's a fellowship endowed by Ron Artest at St. John's waiting for him.

By the way - great start to the second half for Maryland. I <3 Landon Milbourne.

He's a potentially huge recruit, a special talent which could change Md overnight. He is a teammate of Padgett and had been rumored to have an interest in Md, I also think this is an official visit. Good job by GW and staff, now they need to close the deal!!

Nice win for Gary and the players. They played pretty good defense and only had 7 turnovers. I don't ever remember having so few in a game. Mosley, Milbourne, Bowie and Vasquez had good games. Mosley started in place of Hayes and Johnny Holiday on the postgame show said to Gary that the move seemed to be good for both players. I believe they each had eight. Gary said he wanted Eric to watch the first 4 minutes of the game to get a feel for the flow. Gary appeared to be much calmer tonight, as expected, and he thought the Yellow uniforms helped.

Vasquez thanked God on the postgame show and couldn't stop giving Gary praise. He said he is the best coach he ever had and he is a great coach over and over. Chris asked him if he knew he was close to a triple double at the end of the game and I believe Bowie missed a layup that would have given it to him. He said yeah and I will forgive him but you know how hard it is to get a triple double? Man I worked so hard to get it. Surprised? He tries to say the right things and then blows it with these kind of comments. It's always me, me, me. 11 points 10 rebounds and 9 asists. Very Good game but he still wasted a number of threes where he should have tried to penetrate to get a better shot. It will never change but we won the game. I hope our top recruit Lance Stephenson from NY was impressed with the Comcast Center and our win tonight. If he is a top guard he should easily see how he could fit in to our lineup next year. 14-7 and 3-4 in the ACC.

Tonight, Gary...

a) Literally came out swinging. Instead of his normal fist pump, he came out, stopped near the out of bounds line, turned to the students, and basically threw a right hook. It was awesome.

b) Got a handshake and a smile from President Mote at the bench after walking over there after the fist pump.

c) Stuck around after talking with Johnny and Chris to stand and listen to the alma mater, when normally he would head back to the locker room. Clearly an extremely emotional game for him, and it was great to be reminded just how much he loves this place - and from the way the fans sounded, loud throughout and chanting his name near the end, how much they love him.

HOF Gary

Thanks for the info Busta!

I love Gary and hope he can somehow magically turn this program back in the right direction. I'd hope for him to be the one that gets us back on track 100 x's more than for it to be someone else.

At this point, I don't think he'll do it, but I'm begging to be proved wrong here.

      And the difference with Cowser and Holliday is the team around him. Right now, our lineup is deep and talented, which allows them to let Holliday struggle through without majorly affecting the outcomes of games. Plus there really isn’t an incumbent player pushing him for time. Hays was the entrenched starter last year when Cowser came up, so the only way he was going to play in a pennant race was if he hit as he has this year. The problem with Holliday is purely this: unrealistic expectations. Give him some time. We will reap the benefits of this patience later in the season. You add his bat to what we already have?!?! Watch out!

      This should be merged into the thread in the minor league forum.   https://forum.orioleshangout.com/topic/51777-seth-johnson-2024/#comment-3104271

      Hard to look at his start as “just a slump” when factoring in his second half of last year, too.

      Aren't the Tides struggling enough already?

      Not even a platinum glove is worth that kind of abysmal production at the plate. Elias should capitalize on Hays' option and send him to Norfolk to play every day. If there's an injury to one of the OF's on the major league roster or he gets into a groove at the plate, call him back up. Give Stowers an opportunity - even just as a sparingly-used 4th OF - to reward him for multiple seasons of good production in the minors.

      Is this a serious statement?  Did we find out if Cowser was “cut out for the majors” last season when he struggled? Did we find out about Grayson last season when he struggles so much that he had to be sent down? Just curious, how long have you watched baseball? I ask because I have read several of these hyperbolic reactions when the kid hasn’t even played a full week of games and the first thing that I a think is what is this poster’s frame of reference? Have they not watched various top players/prospect struggle when first coming to the show? I don’t mean to be insulting but it get’s a little exhausting reading these type of instantaneous indictments of a 20 year-old uber-talented kid who has not found his groove after 25 ABs.

      Cowser never had the chance to play every day. It wasn't a similar situation to Holliday's callup outside of poor initial results. Holliday is being given a long leash to struggle and try to figure things out. Cowser had no such opportunity last season. Elias and Hyde were too enamored with Aaron Hicks.
