Here's a strange situation: let's distract you from distressing news in basketball with some much better news in football! (Weird, huh?) Maryland isn't done with their 2012 recruiting just yet, but according to Scout.com's Bob Lichtenfels, they've got an early start on 2013, reportedly getting a commitment from Wilmington defensive back Jarrett Ross.

Maryland had a leg-up in the recruitment of Ross: he's the brother of current Maryland running back Brandon Ross. Jarrett was invited to the U.S. Army Bowl Underclass Combine, which is usually critical in the Army Bowl selection process and indicates a highly-ranked future, and he has great size at 5-11 and 180. He also reportedly runs a sub-4.4 40 time, which gives him a pretty elite set of tools.
It's still early yet and so Ross isn't ranked on any of the major three services, but that's typical. Getting such a quick start to the class can only be a good thing. If you're so inclined, you can check out his highlights post-break.

I guess his brother told him how...
horrible it was here, and how everyone hated Edsall.
Children should be seen and not heard.

You need to grow up..
RE isn’t that bad of a coach. Usually takes a new coach more than one season to put in a new scheme.. Get over it.. He isn’t going anywhere.

Dude, follow your own advice. This is my opinion . I will never ever support RE and he needs to go. Is it now clearer?
That is your opinion and we will respect it
but he needs to go now because YOU say so? Unless you’re the AD, hang on to that dream.
Follow my own advice
for stating the obvious that it usually takes a coach more than a year to implement a new system and find players that are right for that scheme. After 3 season & if we suck, then he goes.. Have to give it time.

According to IMS he hasn't committed yet
I don’t know who’s right and who’s wrong, but I trust IMS.

Never followed Scout all that much
But I doubt that IMS would come out and say it hasn’t happened if he hadn’t checked with someone close to Ross first. And Lichtenfels did say Jarrett’s brothers name is Isiah, which it’s clearly Brandon, so there’s that.
Definitely hope IMS is wrong, and they did say it’s likely to happen, but they say it hasn’t happened yet. He’s obviously a huge Maryland lean at this point however if he hasn’t committed yet.

I'm not sure who Bob Lichtenfels is at Scout
Never heard of him – granted I’m more bball
"A new era has dawned in Maryland Athletics..."
IMS is wrong on this one
He basically told edsall months ago he was done to Maryland and only decided now to go public with it. Please realize IMS said locksley was done to NC State per a reliable source, they are ok info if it is info other sites have as well.
Thank you..
I think we are one of the few that realize that IMS is wrong a lot.. They even said MD to hire Sean Miller a while back.. We know what happen there.

To be fair
That was a done deal than KA screwed it up……
Honestly, I'd rather have Turge anyway
He seems to be a mellow guy until you get him on a court and then he shows that fire that you want to see out of your coach that shows he truly loves the game and his players like his own sons. Having Larry Brown backing you doesn’t hurt either lol

Yeah.
I know KA messed up. But just pointing out other story’s that IMS ran that weren’t true though.
by Timothy Bowen on Jan 20, 2012 10:44 PM EST up reply actions
And just like that IMS says he's committed
My bad everyone, pretty stoked I was wrong though.

Welcome Jarrett
glad he is a Terp! Enjoyed the video kid has unreal speeeeed! Got to be a lot of stars coming his way when ranked next year. As for Edsall, well no one is perfect and he had a bad first year although that was a much Crowton and Bradford. Great news is they are gone. Give Edsall and KA credit for bringing in Locks and Stewart. Edsall learned a lot last year. When you learn the hard way you learn well and either way yesterday is done. If we can focus on today and tomorrow we will all be better off. I think Edsall with Locks and Stewart is going to be fine. Looking forward to next year and beyond. Go Terps!
Sounds like a solid pickup for the Terps
And after watching some of our games this year, we need speed! We gladly welcome another Ross.
