Maryland has had SOME respect tho, their nowhere near as bad as say....Purdue.

[NAHSTE]

Upon seeing the thread title I immediately thought of NC State. Pick any ACC team, really. Maryland is another good call. They produce some freakish athletes with nothing to show for it.

[cf24]

Herm, I don't know if Shaun Hill is really considered an "athletic freak" anymore...his best years may be behind him. He's just not as freakishly athletic as he once was.

Cal is going to be tough to beat.

41 drafted players, 10 first round picks.

Damn.

[Guest]

Cal is going to be hard to beat on that one. There are some solid ballplayers from the early 90's on up, starting with Harvey Nickerson, Ken Harvey and Todd Steussie.

[NAHSTE]

I was about to say Notre Dame, but then I saw the "produce talent" part.
