Turgeon has not had a top 10 class yet. Maybe the 2014 class will end up being there. MD is ranked 3rd now (according to 24/7), but they are probably finished and there are still a ton of shoes left to drop in that class. I would guess they end up in the 15-ish range, but that's just a guess.
I agree, as usual, with ZackKiesel. Both programs have had a very similar trajectory to this point, with similar positives and similar negatives. But I also agree with Birds of B-more, Turgeon's position will start to be a bit uncomfortable if the BB team does not make the tourney this year.
They haven't been comparable. Im not saying Turge has done a great job but he literally had no chance his first year with 6 scholarship players and he still had a winning record and was 8th of 12 ACC teams. Edsall went 2-10 and was in the basement of the ACC.
Last year, Turg won 25 games and went to the semis of the NIT. Maybe without the injuries Edsall would have done the equivalent, but I doubt it.
The other thing, as mentioned, is Edsall has done nothing to revitalize the fanbase. As apathetic as the fanbase was by the end of the Fridge era I still think it was better than it is now. Byrd is as empty as it's been in a long, long time.
