    (1) I wonder if any of them want to stay in the ACC? Nick Faust anyone?

    (2) This ain’t the way that old Jeff Goodman and the fawning media dreamed of Mark Turgeon’s success at Maryland.

    Maryland basketball players sophomore center Shaquille Cleare, junior guard Nick Faust and freshman guard Roddy Peters were granted permission to transfer, the school announced Tuesday.

    Last week, Maryland was over the limit of scholarship players, having 13 in the program. The Terrapins went 17-15 last season, ending with a loss to Florida State in the second round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.

    Cleare averaged three points and 2.5 rebounds in 13.8 minutes per game last season, and averaged 3.4 points and 2.6 rebounds in 69 career games with the school.

    Faust started 13 games last season, averaging 9.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and two assists per game. He played in 102 games in his three seasons with the program.

    Peters played in all 32 games, averaging 4.1 points and 2.1 assists in 15.1 minutes per game

    This is a disturbing pattern if you are a Maryland fan. Turgeon must have all the people skills of the Attila The Hun if he has three players or 20% of the entire program leaving the year they are moving to the BIG. Debbie Yow has to be the root cause for this somehow. The John Feinstein book about the TUR-DUNGEON in the basement of Cole Field House will be a bestseller for sure.

    What was left out of this sentence? As written, it doesn’t make any sense.

    Scout shows UMD with 5 incoming freshman. Were the transfers anticipated or was Turgeon inviting kids to leave?

    This makes more sense:

    Turgeon was going to be over the scholarship limit next season, so the writing was on the wall in College Park that a couple of players could be in trouble.
