Word is out on AS in MD. This year's mess since day 1 has doomed it.
Poor organization, poor selections, poor coaching. Parents finally figured out it's a money grab.
This is funny…maybe put in an equal setting the Maryland players aren’t as good as in some other states.
Basically, Maryland overall was not as good as compared to other states. Period.
I think this is the only unassailable takeaway. But this doesn't mean we don't have as good players etc... it just means our team wasn't as good compared to other states-- for whatever reason.
As far as 27s, I think their formative (turn the corner) years were smack in the middle of the pandemic. Kids on either side have either had a chance to recover (younger (build skills)) or were already in the mode of self development (older). I don't doubt 27s can catch up by end of sophomore year, but I know they are a hint off pace right now. Smooches
