Believe it or not the only ones gambling here are the kids and families that decided to verbal there so early. Maryland, like the other powerhouses will verbal as many kids as they can, knowing that they will lose some kids. Many of the kids they verbal are just offered spots on the team for freshman year with no financial commitment, and no guarantee that they will be on the team after that. Unless your kid is an absolute monster and you know for sure that he will get a shot at playing at the next level, anyone that verbals their kid to a place like Maryland so early is out of their minds. Its not a good enough academic school to throw caution to the wind with the hopes of a great education.
