By the time Maryland plays Georgetown at Xfinity Center on Nov. 17, Mark Turgeon will have some idea whether the Terps will be living up to all the preseason hype being heaped upon them right now.
By then, highlytouted freshman center Diamond Stone will have become familiar with his teammates and will have just followed Melo Trimble with another of the more anticipated debuts in recent Maryland history.
By then, big-time transfers Robert Carter Jr. and Rasheed Sulaimon will have started to mesh their already skilled games with Stone, Trimble and senior Jake Layman in what will likely be Mark Turgeon's starting lineup.
