Antonio

Even if you're not yet ready to retire, San Miguel de Allende is perfect for a vacation or long weekend getaway. Getting there United and American airlines offer connecting flights (via Texas) to San Miguel's two closest airports, Leon/Guanajuato (BJX), 90 minutes away, and Queretaro (QRO), one hour away. Round-trip airfares start around $600. Multiple airlines offer flights to Mexico City, which is three hours from San Miguel. When to go January may be the sole inclement month to travel, and even then it's nothing compared to a typical Baltimore winter.

After visiting Maryland last week, it appeared as if Memphis transfer Antonio Barton was headed home. The senior point guard from Baltimore, who should be eligible to play right away next season after graduating this summer, said that he got a good feel from the coaches, players and athletic director Kevin Anderson. It appears now that the Terps have some new competition for Barton from Tennessee. Barton was in Knoxville "Wednesday or Thursday," according to a source.  Another source close to Barton told me last week that the decision could come “very soon” and all signs pointed toward College Park.

As Maryland awaits word from former Memphis point guard Antonio Barton regarding his possible transfer to College Park, it might be interesting to look at the lineups Mark Turgeon could put on the floor next season with or without the 6-2 senior from Baltimore. His three-season stats at Memphis might not accurately reflect how important a piece Barton could be for the Terps. How do you measure a player's basketball IQ, leadership and maturity? Think of what Logan Aronhalt gave Turgeon's team last season, but with Barton playing a much bigger role at a more key position.

Former Memphis point guard Antonio Barton (Lake Clifton) wrote in a text Sunday to The Baltimore Sun that his visit to Maryland on Friday “went tremendous”. Barton wrote that he loved the campus and was impressed with Terps coach Mark Turgeon and his assistants as well as the academic support staff. A source said Barton has not committed to the Terps. Barton expects to graduate this summer and be eligible to play immediately next season. He is reportedly also considering Syracuse, Texas A&M and Kansas State.

Antonio Barton's trip home to Baltimore in a couple of weeks will center around the birthday party for his daughter, Skyy, who is turning 4. The visit will also include a meeting with Maryland men's basketball coach Mark Turgeon, Barton said in a phone interview Monday. Barton, who received his release from Memphis after playing for the Tigers the past three seasons, said the Terps are among two dozen teams that have contacted him. And Barton acknowledged that Maryland is among a much shorter list of serious contenders.

The Big 33 Scholarship Foundation Inc. has announced that Poly graduate and former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Antonio Freeman will be the honorary chairman of the 56th Big 33 Football Classic in June. Freeman played for Maryland in the 1990 Big 33 game. In 1995, Freeman was drafted in the third round by the Packers. In Super Bowl XXXL, he had three receptions for 105 yards to help the Packers beat the New England Patriots. During his NFL career with the Packers and Philadelphia Eagles, he amassed over 7,000 receiving yards, caught over 400 passes and scored more than 60 touchdowns.

  Baltimore Sun reporter Don Markus, intern and Diamondback co-sports editor Josh Vitale, and editor Matt Bracken weigh in on the three biggest topics of the past week in Maryland sports. Should Mark Turgeon go after Antonio Barton to play point guard next season for the Terps? Don Markus: Having already written that Pe'Shon Howard might have been a suitable stop-gap before Roddy Peters is ready to take over at the point, I think it is fair to say that Barton would be a more than suitable replacement as Maryland's transition point guard going into the 2013-14 season.

It is no secret that Maryland coach Mark Turgeon has a need for an experienced point guard  next season. With the recent departure of rising senior Pe'Shon Howard, the Terps have four scholarships available. It is also no secret that former Lake Clifton point guard Antonio Barton is looking for a place to finish his college career. Barton received his release from Memphis this week, has a year of eligibility remaining and will be available to play right away as long as he gets his degree from the school this summer.

Former Lake Clifton point guard Antonio Barton is considering his options after receiving his release from Memphis on Monday. Anthony “Doodie” Lewis, Barton's AAU coach at Cecil Kirk, said the junior plans to graduate from Memphis this summer and be eligible to play at another Division I school right away. “Antonio will probably wait until the next couple weeks [to formulate a list],” Lewis said. “It's still a little bit early.” Barton appeared in 26 games for the Tigers as a junior, averaging 5.6 points and shooting 39.7 percent from the field.

Aside from an uncharacteristic 157-yard outburst by the Philadelphia Eagles' Brent Celek in Week 2, the Ravens have succeeded at containing opposing tight ends this season. Only one has caught a touchdown, the Houston Texans' Owen Daniels, and none since Celek have reached 90 yards receiving. The Ravens will face another tough tight end Sunday in the San Diego Chargers' Antonio Gates, who leads the team in touchdown catches with four and ranks second in yards with 355. Ravens inside linebacker Jameel McClain has been thrown at 28 times this season - the most among Ravens linebackers, according to Pro Football Focus - but he has yet to surrender a touchdown catch.
