I'm not really sure how the conversation ended up where it did on this thread - but back to the original post about Maryland not getting any recognition for what they have done this current season: I think they've done enough to show that they have improved from last year, but I can't really tell any further than that until they play their upcoming games.Lax101 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 2:58 pm I'm struggling as to why anyone thinks the current UMD is so good or why the near term future looks so wonderful. Last year they lost 3 times to NW and twice by running clock. You did add a great transfer player buy why should anyone view that as anything more than a bandaid. She is gone after this year and you really don't have much firepower on either end of the field that I can see. You will have to deal with NW and Scane for the two years and I think most people would see NW as the stronger team. I hope for UMD's sake that they beat NW handily this year because that is what both BC and UNC did. Hard to say you are at the caliber of BC and UNC if you don't take care of business vs NW. Is there a good reason as to why UMD did not schedule their typical good out of conference games this year?
Cordingly gives them a big boost this year, but at this point Maryland will return all scorers (through 6 games) except Cordingly and Griffin next year. Between the transfer portal, incoming freshmen, and gained experience & development of current players - I just think it's way too early to write off Maryland's 2023 roster 6 games in to 2022.
