When D.J. Durkin sat down to meet individually with his new players at Maryland, he wanted to bring along some notes on each of them. Durkin, having spent most of his first two weeks as the Terps’ new head coach on the recruiting trail, didn’t have time to break down their film, so instead he decided to show them the scouting reports he put together while game-planning against them as Michigan’s defensive coordinator.
Some were complimentary. Some were not. All of them drew interesting reactions.
“I think some of them were probably kind of shocked. They looked at me a little crazy,” Durkin said.
