Looks mostly like sour grapes. Looking more into it they've lost a lot of recruits the past 2 months or so. Several DBs, OL, etc. ... and now the 2 bannermen of their class after weeks of insisting "stay the course".
I don't know about conspiracy theory, but they're going to destroy us at volleyball or basketball or something... I guess there's comparisons there.
Somebody should remind them they just got the biggest payout in NCAA history thanks to joining B1G. Take a deep breath, realize you fired your coach, hired a scUM guy, didn't retain the assistants that made these bridges ... meanwhile the rest of the country kept recruiting (incl Urban).
Re: Locksley... they knew the consequences going back to October
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-of-marylands-2016-football-recruiting-class/
Since indicating Locksley won't be back ...
- Jones and
- Haskins pending, but at best "soft verbals"
- DB Parnell Motley flipped to OU
- DB Tyrone Hill decommitted, Pitt?
- DB Silas Kelly to a FCS (joining FBS in 2017?), new staff cut him loose?
- WR Evan Fairs (WR coach also let go)
- OL Michael Clark who summed it up:
「Clark told IMS, "It wasn't the same program I committed to. I didn't get the same vibe." 」
There may be more. After losing 3 DBs late in the process, wondering if Durkin goes after the DB Harbaugh just cut. Figure he has at least some history w/him? IIRC he's also a Maryland kid?

All this talk about Locksley on pg #41... if we were suddenly to have an opening at Quarterbacks Coach, he would be an excellent addition to this staff...

OHIO STATE USING HIGH EARLY NFL DRAFT ENTRANT NUMBER TO HELP CAP 2016 RECRUITING CLASS
Darron Lee's story is different than most, a late bloomer who became an essential part of Ohio State's defense the last two seasons and future NFL Draft pick despite not playing the position in high school that is going to make him a millionaire.
"Darron Lee, someone posted a picture of a skinny-neck quarterback from New Albany," Urban Meyer said Jan. 7. "Now (he's) going to the NFL."

Dual-Threat QB who wanted to play WR
9:25 PM - 2 Jan 2016
Lee redshirted his first year at Ohio State, then exploded and grew into his body with vigorous workouts demanded by Mickey Marotti, the Buckeyes' strength sensei and Meyer's right-hand man.
"That's a credit to Coach Mick, his position coach and the development of what goes on here," Meyer said. "Our sports performance team that Coach Marotti's in charge of is second to none."
Hardly much rivals the luxuries Ohio State enjoys in Columbus, but the programs that can are in position to play for championships every year. They're also the schools that shell out the most talent to the pro ranks, like Lee.
Eight other Buckeyes joined Lee this month and elected to declare for the 2016 NFL Draft, leaving school early because they felt ready to take their game to the next level. That wouldn't happen if it weren't for Ohio State, and Meyer is using the exodus as a very useful recruiting tool with National Signing Day a shade more than two weeks away.
"That's a big part of recruiting now," Meyer said.
Nine is a large number to deal of guys leaving early to deal with, but places like Ohio State, Alabama, Texas and others—#brands that sell themselves—reload and quickly jump on the pedal to prepare for next year and beyond. So while the total of talent leaving Columbus both in early entrants and the most successful senior class in school history is a huge chunk, it isn't that shocking.
"I don't want to be surprised by it, again we all have our opinions but the reality is that's what we prepare these guys for," Ohio State defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Luke Fickell said. "Whether it’s to go out on the world and get a job at IBM or their opportunity to go take their shot at the NFL. I don't know that a whole lot surprises me anymore."

"You see the body types that you see play for us and our opponents tell that to us all the time. We're not that big, slow, fat team. We're a team and that's what NFL people are looking for," Meyer said. "We had a lot of people graduate. Had the highest graduation rate in Ohio State football history. Just set a national record for 50 wins and probably have some kind of record for most guys going to the draft. Of course we're using that."

You'll have nothing and like it
I don't want to break any rules about bashing but I have to say I'm a little disappointed in the coverage today on these Maryland guys. I have come to expect a little more for my $77.95 over time. How hard could it be to at least find out what kind of socks or sweatshirt Jones had on today, or not even a hint that someone was monitoring the private aircraft activity in and around the DMV area today. C'mon man.
...........Ok, nevermind
