Just another one of Bear's terrible posts.
From what I have observed Coach Kuhn has had some pretty good sucess with his pitchers at UVA in the last 6 years. I think that one of the best pitchers in college baseball currently resides in Davenport Field. But this is the same guy that last year tried to compare MD's program to UVA's program......which is totally laughable...and shows major ignorance....and all of this comes from a MD fan!!

Must differ with you on your point about md preps heading to md.No less then ten current players are md prepsters with two more just leaving one of them via 1st rd mlb draft.In addition fourteen members of 08 squad are from md public high schools.I also find your term laughable a bit mean spirited.

Terp Fan,
I wish as much as anybody that MD Baseball would get to the point where they can compete for ACC Titles. The reality though is the program is one of the worst in the ACC. I still don't think they are fully funded which makes it very tough to compete in the ACC. I am not sure that the right man is at the helm of the program either. That is just my view though, I could be wrong. I really respect Coach Farr, I think very highly of him. MD is getting kids from in state, but I think the top talent leaves the state or goes somewhere else to often. Wish that would change. GO TERPS

You are being too kind. It isn't one of the worst it is the worst. Md. is a team playing in the ACC. It is not an ACC quality team.
I also think to some extent they get good players but they don't know what to do with them. As far as recruiting goes they are just lazy. They could get more by just picking up the phone.
As far as fully funded goes - that isn't the problem. If South Carolina wasn't fully funded they would still get great players to go.

I also question their commitment to the Md. player. A large number of Maryland kids have gone elsewhere to play, and most were turned off or poorly recruited by their home state university. It would be interesting to see what the program could be if they could keep the best players in state.

Its not the point of being around the area to recruit they don't recognize talent. I don't know about Farr bt Rupp is the problem. If your not 6ft 3 or better he doesen't take an interest. They do have talent on the team. Rupp worries to mch about size and not heart and talent.quote:Originally posted by happyhourhero:quote:Originally posted by scout10:quote:Originally posted by Terp_Pride:

Lazy with recruiting? If you only saw how all over the place Coach Farr was this summer. Your statement is dead wrong.

Scout10 - I've never seen Coach Farr as a "lazy" recruiter. Whenever I talked to him during the spring or summer, he always said he's on his way back home from seeing a player in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, etc.
And Kss8890, you don't have to be above 6'3 to be recruited by Maryland. Do you think Pat Blair (Calvert Hall 09 SS) isn't being recruited by Coach Rupp? Pat's probably 5'10, maybe 5'11, and he is definitely getting attention from the UMd staff.
