Maryland's class isn't too bad.
You can see it by clicking here.
Melvin Alaeze will be great on the D line. 4 6 foot 3 receivers, and some more linebackers.
The Terps are losing out to Penn State because their regional coordinator for this area (Larry Johnson) is a former high school football coach from the area (19 years at McDonough, 2 years at TC Williams), and knows the coaches he's dealing with. The guy Maryland has is new to recruiting and doesn't have the connections that Johnson has. And from looking at his bio, I can see that MD's former head coach before Fridge (Ron Vanderlinden) is the LB coach, and recruited very well here in Maryland. So there you go...2 ups, and a very successful 2005 campaign brings PSU back to the forefront.
