With Maryland set to face Florida State on Wednesday, all four members of the Terps' freshman class have seemingly adjusted to the speed and intensity of college basketball.

Plus Dez plus Aronhalt.
It's amazing how well every single person, to a man, on this team knows and understands their exact role. Such a beautiful contrast to the teams we watched basically since 2003.

It seriously doesnt even matter who starts. Just sub at the first timeout if the lineup isnt working. Seth or Pe, Len, and two wings and another big.

Agree - with the exception of Alex Len. He needs to start and get into rhythm early on.

Agree on Len and I'd also say that Pe starting is also pretty much a must-- he sets a controlled tempo and establishes that everyone is getting involved. I don't care if Pe only plays 12 mpg, but I'd still like to have him out there at the beginning to set the tone. Love Allen, but right now would rather not put the pressure on him to run the offense at the beginning of the games.

I'm going to reserve judgment on the freshmen (and the whole team coming together for ACC play meme) through at least the Florida State and Miami games. Love that Layman had a breakout game (really, just a breakout half, scoring wise) but could just as easily be a statistical fluke. I'll be much more willing to buy into the general enthusiam-bordering-on-homerism after another couple of solid outings -- particularly seeing our performance on the road against Miami.
