Can You Digg It? Terps Land Stephon Diggs
The University of Maryland Football team landed a huge fish when Stephon Diggs committed to the Terps today. Diggs represents the first 5 Star Recruit the Terps have landed since 2007 (Bruce Campbell). The Terps recruiting class, depending on the source was ranked 6th or 7th in the ACC and in the mid 40′s nationally. I imagine this would bump it up at least a little.
Diggs choose Maryland over Ohio State, Florida, and Auburn. He is ranked the #2 WR in this years class of incoming seniors and the only 5 star prospect left to commit.
Some days it’s a good day to be a Terp, some days a bad day to be a Terp. This one is an excellent one to be a Terp. Who would have thought we would be able to pull this kind of talent coming off a 2-10 season. Heck had Diggs gone elsewhere, I’d still say we over achieved this year. But this is icing on an undeserved cake!
Of course signing a 5 star kid, and having said kid play like a 5 star talent are two different things. You could fill a canyon with stories of stars who flamed out, or never amounted to much so perhaps we should reel in our expectations, but all indications are Diggs will make an immediate impact on the Terps offense.
Now the attention of Maryland Nation switches to Danny O’Brien, we should find out early next week what his long term plans are. You never can tell what a college kid is thinking, but you’d have to figure this one would go into the “Pro” column when deciding whether or not to remain in College Park. If he does stay, I think expectations for the program will go through the roof, and for once Randy Edsall may begin to stick his head out of the dog house door.
Of course you cannot mention this story without bringing up Mike Locksley, this is what he was brought in to do, and boy is he ever doing it. If he can pull in two local studs in such a short time, what can he do given an entire year?
Like I said, today is a good day to be a Terp!!

February 10th, 2012 at 8:49 pmDidn’t O’Brien host Diggs on his visit? That’s got to be something that favors him staying.
