I really think EJ Henderson is going to emarge as a star this year and is going to be one of those guys that after a couple of months national press is going to go "Hey where did this guy come from"
He was already listed in SI as a guy to watch, and he was ACC defensive player of the year last year, so the word is out on him.
You know, when I look at this MD-ND game, I keep thinking back to Oregon State last year. They were down for a long time, had an improved season three years ago, had a break out season two years ago, came in last year with HIGH expectations and then TANKED. Lost right out of the gates to Fresno St. and never got back on track. I know, what the hell does that have to do with UMD this year? Nothing. But it just feels the same to me, for what THAT'S worth.
MD still doesn't have a lot of great talent. Last year they pulled a couple out that were a bit lucky (NCST, G.Tech), caught UNC at a down time for them (remeber how bad they started the season) and they still got CRUUUUSSSSHED by the quality programs (FSU and UF). I'm not sold on them.
Besides, I liked Fridge better when he was fat.
ND's funny, though. With all of the changes there its hard to judge what they'll look like. I think I'm laying off this one, but if I do play it, my money's on ND.
