With Michael Locksley’s firing, Maryland football’s commits have tough decisions to make.
Keep track of who has reaffirmed commitments and who’s stepping back from the program at the Diamondback’s recruiting tracker:

Takeaways from the Wizards’ home loss to the Raptors
- Turnovers were a major issue
- Anthony Davis struggled mightily
- Washington rallied, but never took the lead late
Jake Kauderer retweeted
The Wizards battled but couldn't quite rally against the Raptors, losing by 10.
Washington committed 20 turnovers. Brian Keefe emphasized "this is a new team," but that number felt reminiscent of last season's struggles.

From ESPN's @CFBHeather, Michael Lockelsy isn't expecting to be a head coach again. He doesn't want that labor and is reportedly at peace with the change.

The Wizards rode the dominant stretch to beat the Milwaukee Bucks, 128-116.
Anthony Davis led the way with 34 points, 12 rebounds and four assists in his team debut, nearly single-handedly keeping Washington in the game. wapo.st/4yEmV7k

SCOOP: Maryland 3-star 2027 safety commit Kevin Jackson is upholding his commitment, he tells me.
He admitted today's news of Locksley's firing was a "really shocking moment," but said that he's still extremely excited to come to College Park.

Anthony Davis dominated in his Wizards debut, leading Washington to a 128-116 win over the Bucks. Could this be a preview of things to come?
“We needed that steady presence,” Brian Keefe said.

Is making the playoffs this season a realistic goal for the Wizards? Some fans who I spoke with at Capital One Arena certainly think so.
“I’m ready for a new beginning,” one supporter said. “I think this is it.”

Coach Keefe says AJ Dybantsa will not play in tomorrow’s season opener due to his ankle injury and is considered day-to-day.

How much lower can Maryland go after Saturday?
Michael Locksley said "no one here has written off this season just yet.” Maybe that's true within Jones-Hill House. Outside those doors, it certainly doesn't feel that way.

FINAL: Maryland 30 Rutgers 37
It's an unhappy homecoming. Maryland did about everything but finish the job in its final drive, but allowed 24 straight points in a second-half collapse.
That's 12 straight conference losses and 3 straight to Rutgers.

Can the Wizards finally be competitive this season? That will largely depend on improvement in these 3 areas:

Mealtime is serious at Jones-Hill House. On the door to the fueling station, a sign reads: “BREAKFAST IS NOT OPTIONAL — IT IS A MANDATORY MEAL!”
Food is everything for Maryland football. Nutrition director Addie Quinn runs it all.

Nearly 11 years ago, then-interim coach Michael Locksley was doused in gatorade after leading Maryland to a win over Rutgers.
How things changed.
Could Saturday's bout with the Scarlet Knights be one of the Terps' last chances to win under Locksley?

The result of Sunday's New York Giants and Washington Commanders game was a 27-27 tie. But the deadlock felt much worse for one squad.
“It felt like a loss,” said Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks. wapo.st/4igI8ze

#Commanders QB Jayden Daniels on the sequence to end the game: "It's on me."
When asked if they knew they were out of timeouts, he said the offense should've done a better job of communicating that.
Jake Kauderer retweeted
There's a few explanations:
- Daniels didn't know the #Commanders had zero timeouts
- Dan Quinn didn't know they had zero timeouts
- Daniels wasn't aware of how much time was left
None of them are acceptable. – at Summerfield, MD
That's just completely inexplicable. The #Commanders were in FG range, but ran a play with the clock dangerously low and no TOs remaining. Daniels was tackled and the clock ran out before they could stop it. They go from potentially winning the game to tying with the Giants.
