First, basketball:
Mark Turgeon, Bino Ranson and Dustin Clark all visited five-star Ohio power forward Carlton Bragg, who seems to be the Mitch McGary "dream get" of the class.
2015 four-star power forward Alex Owens, a Maryland target, decommitted from Central Florida.
2016 DeMatha point guard Alani Moore visited Penn State and received an offer from the Nittany Lions. Same for 2016 DeMatha small forward Joe Hampton.
Now, for football:
Randy Edsall said Maryland wanted to do two things during the bye week: get healthy and recruit. We know about the first part, as about six starters are expected to return from injury against Syracuse, and while we are more than certain plenty of 'crutin happened, there's just not much we know about.
2014 five-star cornerback Jalen Tabor, 2014 five-star offensive tackle Damian Prince and 2014 four-star offensive tackle Derwin Gray are all taking official visits this weekend as Maryland plays Syracuse. It is safe to say these are the three most important players in the 2014 class for Maryland.
2014 three-star offensive tackle Marcus Applefield will take an official visit to the Terps the weekend of the Boston College game (November 23).
The Terps offered 2015 athlete Jaason Lewis, a three/four-star player out of Ocean Lakes High School in Virginia Beach. Lewis has a ton of offers, including Florida State, Ohio State and Virginia Tech, but appears to be a Tennessee lean. Pitt followed suit a few days later.
Maryland also offered 2015 outside linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, from Dan River High School in Ringgold, Virginia. He's considered a Virginia Tech lean, and has an offer from the Hokies.
2014 cornerback target Elliott Davis -- possibly Maryland's backup option to Jalen Tabor (although the Terps could use two cornerbacks in the class, as they lose two to graduation) -- received an offer from N.C. State.
Newfound possible 2014 offensive tackle target Chukwuma Okorafor visited Michigan State.
2016 Archbishop Carroll offensive tackle Jauan Williams received offers from North Carolina and Illinois.
We have decided to add Derwin Gray to our 2014 big board/class, because we said so.
