Testudo Times, a Maryland Terrapins community

A source close to the situation tells us that Maryland "shouldn’t even be on [Terrence Ross'] list, because there’s no way he’s going there at this point."

"It's still a nice class, but definitely there is no way to replace Ross at this stage in the game," Telep said. "So it's not a Top 25 class. It's a Top 25 class with him. When you remove him from the equation, obviously it takes a hit."

Added Telep, "It would be a tough pill to swallow [for Maryland to lose Ross] for the simple fact that the guy's a good basketball player. When you get to this point in the year, the guys of his caliber are just not out there in quantity. It would be very difficult to replace him at this stage."

[Terrence Ross] has reopened his recruitment. He’s going to reopen it for a limited number of schools -- no more than four or five. Maryland is still very strong in the picture. He just felt that he wanted to open it up and make sure he was making an informed decision. And that’s pretty much it.

Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, Maryland. He has limited who he [is considering]. Not anybody can come in and recruit him. Our rule, also, is that there will be no official visits until our season is over. And as far as recruiting during our season, the No. 1 priority is his academic work and the Montrose basketball team."

Maryland has done an outstanding job of recruiting him and Terrence is very familiar with Maryland and he likes Maryland a lot. They are still very much in the picture.
