I'm hearing Arizona.

Maryland isn't thought to have much of a shot.

Oh well.

The Terps are using the hype of their 2015 season to draw interest of some of the top players in the 2016 recruiting class. See some updates and analysis of those players and discuss below.

4-star Kevin Huerter becomes the second commitment for the Terps' 2016 class, joining Anthony Cowan. The 2016-17 Terps now have 5 guards set for the roster. Here is analysis on Huerter's commitment and the impact it could have on other 2016 recruits.

Keep the good news coming...

[Mackus]

Awesome news.  Seems like we have the backcourt sewed up for next year with Brantley, Cowan, Huerter, Wiley, and Nickens.  Hopefully we can land some massive front-court  and wing talent, going to need it to replace Stone and Layman and I still don't really trust Dodd or Cheko (or Bender) as more than rotation guys.

Nice job, Chris.

[Greg Pappas]

Yes, good job... very informative and much appreciated.

Would like to hear something on Bender. Is he just going to be a warm body or is there potential there. Considering I haven't heard anything about him much, I'm assuming it's the former

Gabriel committed to Kentucky.

Gabriel committed to Kentucky.

They are probably done for '16. Maybe a JUCO big man. Of course, the international route is always an option.

Testudo Times: Maryland basketball recruiting: Terps make 5 new offers, expect visitors at Maryland Madness

Jalen Smith sounds encouraging.  Great to be involved in so many upper echelon players, hope Turgeon can keep bringing in top classes.  Exciting time to be a Terps fan.

Baltimore Sports and Life: Another SF’s the Terps have tried to get involved with is Mario Kegler (Oak Hill). Do you see him as plausible, or no?

 

Ermann: He’s plausible. In my conversations with his coach, who also happens to be his guardian, he’s raved about Maryland and the chance to succeed Layman. Would I call Maryland the favorites? Probably not at this point, but he’ll visit in mid-October and seems excited about finally seeing the program up close.

 

 

IMS: Mark Turgeon Visits Five-Star Target Mario Kegler

Here's what I'm liking about Turgeon is doing recruiting wise right now... he's capitalizing on all the positive feelings around the program at the moment, he's casting a wide net... and he's not putting all of his eggs in one basket.  If Player X isn't willing to commit, I'm moving on and pushing for Player Y. I think that's the right strategy.  Hopefully between the visit to College Park, and Turgeon visiting him... MD's closed the distance and is able to get the verbal here. Having been in-town this past weekend, it's likely that had to have made a big impression.

[Mike in STL]

Cowan and Huerter are supposed to sign letters of intent today.

Both top 100 recruits. Backcourt looking nice though Trimble's shoes will be hard to fill.

[BSLChrisStoner]

The bigger watch is that MD made the final 3 for Mario Kegler... Top 30.. decision coming today.... Mississippi St, Indiana, and MD.
