Terrence Ross is a Terp

If you checked out Terrapin Times (not Testudo Times; we appear to be name rivals) this morning, you probably saw the teaser that a bigtime shooter committed to Maryland. Now, I don't have a Rivals membership, but found out through other sources that it's none other than Montrose Christian star Terrence Ross.
Ross is at worst a very high four star SG/SF, and he has a five star ceiling. I've heard nothing but positive things about him from very knowledgeable people. Some quotes include stuff like "the perfect wing player," or a "must-get" for the Terps. He can shoot, and is athletic enough to make some great dunks.
This is a very, very positive thing. Ross is a great get, on the same level as Will Barton or Mychal Parker. There's now a lot of momentum for 2010's class. Maybe this is a true signs that "things have changed."
The backcourt for the 2010 class appears to be set, with Stoglin and Ross both having committed. Remember, though, the Terps will probably have two more scholarships, and at least one, to hand out. Ross is big enough to be a three, so he gives the Terps some flexibility. If a guy like Will Barton or Victor Oladipo shows interest, there will be room for them. Mychal Parker is still a possibility as well, as he's a natural 3 from all indications. Right now, though, the #1 target should be Tobias Harris.

Oh yes!
I must admit, this is fairly impressive. This gets the 2010 class, as you said bbro, a great start and some great momentum. A lot of kids choose a school due to its prestige and its coach, and a lot choose a school because of the players that are their or are on their way and this will do nothing but help MD in its quest for the Will Bartons and the Tobias Harris!……And the Roscoes Smith’s?
Although, i’m still not sold on Terrell Stoglin. He’s two star right now on scout, but like i’ve said before, i’m sure Gary knows something i don’t know. But i did hear that Terrell’s coach said that he was a top 5 player in the nation, Although that sounds inredibly outrageous for someone to say that about a two star athlete.
Well, i guess its time to hit up the’ol youtube and check out the newest member to the MD Basketball family :-)
Great start Gary! I’ve Got to get one of those shirts that say “In Gary We Trust!”
"M-A-R-Y-L-A-N-D Maryland Will Win!"
top 150 on rivals
one of the top 10-20 pg’s in the nation and he’s rising fast…

Wow, sorry tiim
i didn’t notice that. lol #114 to be exact. I feel a little bit better now about the kid. You just made my day dude. Now, i’m OFFICIALLY excited about what this class could be like!
Not to mention if we pull BR. WOW! That would be some special recruiting there, where’s the Gary bashers at?

not too many gary bashers here
even though I thought so initially…everyone here is FAR from a gary basher…
you should see the kind of negativity these clowns live on…betting against gary is foolish

I was for a few days (after UVA)
It was more emotion speaking than anything else, though. As long as we’re winning or recruiting like we are right now, I might as well be a Garyanna.
happened to me soph. year
partly cuz i was really bitter that the terps decided to go through a funk my 4 years at UMD…figures…i duck out and now they appear to be back…lol…maybe it was me…not garry

This headline made my week!!!
Everything seems to be going right for the Terps!! This was awesome grab for the Maryland recruiting staff, and a big gut check for all those “Gary can’t recruit” haters. From what I read about Ross he could be an absolute star for the Terps!!!
Keep it up Gary! Were coming back baby!!
nice pickup for the terps
i hope he brings all those girls with their mouths open to college park
I've been on pins and needles trying to keep this to myself all day...lol
TT broke it via email…
WHAT A SHOCKER…is all I can say
If Parker or Barton want to come…they better make a move quick…
I think that Parker is the must get recruit now…solid 3…which is the only area I see us as lacking in 2010…though sean is capable of playing there as well\
Tobias appears to be a pipe dream at this point…..still has 10 schools on his “list”
I don't know
I’ve heard a lot of things saying Maryland is one of his favorites. There was a story from Zags not too long ago that said his dad said Maryland and Syracuse were recruiting him really hard and he really liked both. I wouldn’t call TH a pipe dream yet.
hope i'm wrong...i think you give zags too much cred...
i am hearing he’s a big east lean

can I also add...that Terrence is known for his sweet stroke
we will be able to light it up from 3 in 2010…esp. if kim becomes anything….dunno that any of these guys will play in 2010 though as it is a crowded back court already…
PG: AB, Stoglin
SG: Mosely, Tucker, Ross
SF: Kim (with any of the SG’s)
PF: Padge, Dino
C: JWill, Goins???
Assuming we get Painter (which appears to be a 50/50 toss up b/e us and Vtech at this point) we are set on bigs….
If we don’t…Hyppo and Regan become big time gets
but either way…Parker is an option
OH and don’t forget Weatherspoon…i really want that kid….he’d solve a lot of our athleticism problems
