Phoebus Puts Titanic Loss Behind Them
“These kids went through a lot last year when you look at them getting a new head coach, losing a head coach that you absolutely adored. A lot of negative things happened to those young men last year. We hit the wall in that last game of the season, and the kids that you were used to seeing fight to the very end at Phoebus, were kids that were just broken.” – Jeremy Blunt

Maryland Impacts Delaware via Conference Changes and Personnel
Maryland has struggled in the last five years to be a major player in talent for the area. The move away from the home league (ACC) to a predominantly Midwest group (Big Ten) may very well increase the Terrapins’ difficulty in inking impact players here. For Delaware, conference moves might signal a higher priority in inking FBS players within the 757. With Old Dominion’s move to FBS, the Monarchs will have to ratchet up the quality of local talent to sign. This will leave the door open for remaining CAA programs such as Delaware to sign those overlooked.
