Well even if they never play here, it is nice to know that Bakich is getting into the doors of the top recruits. Now he needs to find some that will play.

I used to honestly believe that we could not compete in the ACC because of our disadvantage in geography. But seeing UVA thrive totally throws that theory out the door. Maryland has a proud tradition of baseball excellence, Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, Al Kaline, Harold Baines, Cal Ripken, plus many more. There is no excuse for us not competing. I think they are headed in the right direction, but I just worry Bakich will be gone before they truly mature as a program.
