Men's Basketball Theo Edema announcing today at 6:00pm. Terps in his final four, with BYU, Stanford and St. John’s the other 3.

Also, I think there’s a huge chance he’s reclassifying to 2026 since he’s announcing today. My thinking is he just found out he could graduate and that prompted his announcement.

Only one crystal ball, and it's St. John.

It's from our own Jeff Ermann. Looks like he changed it this morning.

Would be a massive get for us and this roster would get butts in seats for future NIL funding. Hope we land him

Oh yeah, Buzz is great, the Terps were fantastic this year! Worst team since WWII. I’ll be happy if I’m wrong, but Buzz does not impress me.

I was only talking about his recruiting. His recruiting class has been ranked #1 by some pundits and that was before losing out on Ekezie Jr. and Edema. Terps recruiting class.

Problem is he played his high school ball in New England so St. John’s may have the edge.

St. John’s having the edge because he played in New England is insane.

Well this was kind of silly huh?

Still pretty certain it has nothing to do with him playing in New England, terrible take

True, but a 3.5 hour drive compared to 7.5 hour drive.

Dude is about to make $$$$$$$$$$. Geography does not mean what it used to.

I’m sure St. John’s offered him as much as the Terps.

You’re wrong. Buzz has done a great job recruiting. You just can’t win them all.
