Gonzaga's Lindsay Picks Richmond

Get ready for some more basketball commitments as seniors try to firm up their scholarship plans before school starts. The latest to make up his mind is Gonzaga guard Cedrick Lindsay, who on Sunday accepted an offer to play for Richmond, Eagles Coach Steve Turner reported.

Lindsay, who is 6 feet 1, burst onto the scene as a full-fledged scorer last season, averaging a team-leading 16.7 points and 1.4 three-pointers per game. He also considered William & Mary, Brown, Niagara, Temple, Jacksonville and La Salle.

"I just think he felt it was the best fit for him," Turner said. "It's a great opportunity for him to try to contribute early as a freshman. It's a great conference, he'll get a good education. He sees it as similar to Gonzaga, having a good combination of academics and athletics."

Gonzaga forward Malcolm Lemmons, who is 6-3, is considering a variety of offers from members of the Ivy League (Brown, Harvard, Princeton), Patriot League (Bucknell, Colgate), Metro Atlantic (Loyola, Robert Morris) and America East (Vermont, Stony Brook, Maryland-Baltimore County).

Maryland basketball will finish with a 15-16 record

No NCAA bid

No NIT bid

Maryland Football will finish with a 2-10 record.

Maryland's defensive line and linebacker corps are a joke --- no pass rush whatsoever and give up a ton of long yardage plays.

I have seen harder hitting teams in powder puff leagues.

The only hard hits the Terps make - are out of bound plays - which cost them an additional 15 yards - which are quite frequent.

California's running back - Best - will gain 296 yards in the opening game

I love it, when Maryland constantly gets embarrassed on national TV.

Prediction:

California -- 56
Maryland -- 10

It's hilarious to see Maryland win a game - and the very next week get clobbered by a Virginia Tech - Boston College.

It is great to see Maryland go down to a crushing defeat on the football recruiting front (the kids they have received commitments from - are a joke! - taking the bottom of the barrel)
