Major Differences In Terps’ Major Programs

There’s quite a drama playing out in Maryland’s athletic department, where it’s the best of times and worst of times in the Terrapins’ “Tale of Two Programs.”
Both have head coaches in their second season. Both coaches enjoyed success before relocating to College Park. Both men registered disappointing results in their initial campaign.
But Mark Turgeon has his men’s basketball team pointed in the opposite direction of Randy Edsall’s football team. The latest indication came Tuesday, when highly coveted Xavier transfer Dezmine Wells announced that he chose Maryland over Kentucky, among others.
(If Turgeon is beating John Calipari on players, it might not be long before on-court victories follow. Perhaps not as soon as Nov. 9, when the Terps and Wildcats play in the first college game at the Brooklyn Nets’ Barclays Center. But soon enough.).
