They added two more players over the weekend as well:

Mike Williams, 3-star DE out of DC
DeAndre Lane, ATH out of Catonsville (Rivals doesn't have him ranked)

Growing up in Catonsville and going to a couple games this year, this made me really happy. The games I saw, I think Lane ran for at least over 200 yards each one. He can definitely run and I hope that Edsall uses him well.

Stoner, I think it's time for a new blog post running down these new recruits!

Stoner, I think it's time for a new blog post running down these new recruits!

There are sites far better than me that can provide real recruiting analysis and information. Inside MD Sports, Testudo Times, etc.

I have been pursuing Q&A's with some recruiting analysts, but it is a slow go. I'll try again this week, and try and get something up before my trip.

Regarding Lane, I went to Catonsville.... followed them a bit last year, as they were having their best football season ever. Certainly recall Lane putting up some huge games.

Big weekend for the Terps. Obviously they seem to have a great relationship beginning to grow with FCA. Kudos to Edsall and Locksley - now keep it up!

I also went to Catonsville. DBean and I went to a game last year and watched this kid run roughshod on the field. Absolute beast.

Anyone know why Rivals doesn't have him ranked? Lack of exposure? Or is it more that they don't think he's going to amount to anything in college?

I would think being a record setting running back on a team that made the State Semifinals would have to count for something.....

Lanes problem is he is very small and his strength numbers are not off the chart. He has speed for sure but how he fits in at the college level is not easy to identify. It is pretty unlikely he would be able to play running back in college so where he actually fits in keeps him down in the ratings. This is not to say he won't be a good player it is just saying there are a bunch of guys that have the speed, size and strength that they are going to be held in higher regard.

Woohoo!

FWIW, Isaacs is a 4-star TE according to Rivals. Originally he committed to BC late last year and has now switched his commitment to the Terps.

According to a Scout guy, the flip is academics-related:

TE Andrew Isaacs said his flip from #BC to #Maryland was purely academics because BC didn't have his intended major of broadcasting
@BrianDohnScout

Whatever the reason, I'm glad to have him coming to College Park. They need a TE - they've got 3 seniors leaving after this year.
