You're right. The waiver was all about him being closer to home (was that Orlando?). Guess that could've meant UCF, FSU, USF, UF, FAU, MIami.

Yep, think it was a medical waiver. Still counts as a recruit to me. He could've gone anywhere after deciding not to attend DePaul.

The success of the UF back to back NCAA Championship teams (2005-07) was mostly built on out of state players. Taurean Green from Lauderdale was a very key guy to be sure; and Chris Richard from Lakeland was a nice big off the bench. That's two players! The rest, including the key guy, Joakim...

As was Larkin, no?

Urban, rural, large market, small market ... I still think that filling a 7900 seat arena for attractive ACC basketball matchups -- in an area with 2.7 million people -- shouldn't be THAT difficult. Going on almost 40 years now, though, I guess I'm proven wrong.

It's also the ONLY major college program in the big South Florida market!

Very historical. Hosted several Final Fours as well as Regional Finals. It was a given, due to its capacity, that it was THE prominent NCAA Tourney venue from the 1955 through the 70s. Other arenas simply were not big enough to compete. Back then, few arenas were air conditioned. Cole, at least...

Agree on Turgeon. Led to Maryland having some Miami-size crowds this season. I went to the Iowa game and there couldn't have been more than 4000 people (generous estimate) in your 18,000 seat arena. I still miss the old Cole Field House (which, of course, hosted many NCAA hoops events including...

You really think the things you mention will affect attendance in any significant way? Also, since I live in the DMV and never get to Watsco, specifically in what way are the concessions currently letting us down?

So ,... once again, I can see rivals braying about sub-standard facilities at UM. Maryland's XFinity Center seats 18,000 and cost $125 million when it was built 20 yrs ago. The new Basketball practice facility in College Park will cost $10M more than our IPF did.

In reading the coverage of Kevin Willard's hiring by the Maryland Terps as their new HC, it was mentioned that Maryland will soon break ground on a $40M basketball-specific basketball facility. Said the Terps were among the only "major schools" not to have one of these and that it was a major...
