Hey You... You in the White... (Part 2)

The internet has made so many things easier.

• Keeping in touch with friends
• Getting up-to-the-minute information on your investments
• Masturbation
• Purchasing wildly underpriced consumer goods from Thailand

Another thing that the internet has made easier and more popular is following hometown athletes from high school to college to the pros. Back in the day when I was like 9 and a Michigan fan, I used to get so fired up for Dhani Jones because he started on a solid Michigan defense, and he went to Churchill, right down the road.

At 9, with no internet, that was pretty much all you had. Now there are 3 or 4 web sites to track it all, and on signing day, which was last week, you immediately know who is joining your alma mater's squad.

So, much to everyone's excitement, the Terps managed to scoop up 2 Cougars, Travis Hawkins and Zach Kerr, who both happen to be prettay... prettay good.

The great thing about looking at a Terps recruiting class is that you know you've got, at a minimum, a solid offensive lineman, a star skill player, and a future Pro Bowl front 7 guy.

Here are my best guesses.

Peter White - OG - 6'5" 340 lbs. Obviously it's never good when a player comes in and you hear stuff like "just too heavy to finish plays" or "will probably spend more time hangin out with Lee Majors eating breast bites than he will on the practice field" or everyone's favorite "think John Candy, The Great Outdoors. He'll be wearing #96 this year." Fortunately, I don't feel like he has the endurance to stand in line at the College Park Chipotle, so I think we can feel comfortable that he'll drop some pounds.

D.J. Adams - RB - 5'10" 210 lbs. I know, I can hear Berg already. "Oh way to go out on a limb John. Picking the NUMBER ONE recruit in the class." True. However, watching his film, it was too much to pass up. He reminds me of a young Herschel Walker. Thick, fast, and probably will end up being remembered more for his contributions as an Olympic Bobsledder than as an actual football player. Either way, we all know Fridge loves using at least 5 running backs in a season when he has the horses in the pen. Could be making a splash early and often, but also could star in "Cool Runnings 2: Jamaica, You've Got a DogSled Team".

DeOnte Arnett - DE - 6'4" 243 lbs. What do we know here? Clearly the more creative the first name of a defensive player for Maryland, the better he'll turn out. Whether it's unnecessary letters (Shawne Merriman), girl's names for guys (Erin Henderson), or the ever popular "q's not followed by u's to make the k sound" (D'Qwell Jackson), you know the more unusual, the more successful. Fact. Also, apparently Ohio State thought he was pretty good, so he's got that going for him. We may not hear from him until 2013, but rest assured Mr. Arnett will have at least 1 sack before his career ends.

So there you have it. Terps are on their way baby!
