Maryland recruiting roundup: Junior Day visitors this weekend in College Park

Plus nearly a dozen new football offers and more recruiting news.

Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports

Junior Day is this weekend, which means it's tone of the busiest football recruiting times of the year.

Basketball:

Four-star point guard Allonzo Trier picked up an offer from UNLV.

Four-star power forward Esa Ahmad received an offer from Iowa State.

Football:

We talked with Maryland targets Darnell Savage, Nick Johns, Trevion Armstrong, Jake Pickard and Tommy Hatton, and compared Randy Edsall's success at landing blue-chip recruits to Ralph Friedgen's.

The following are players we know will be at Junior Day. Linked is the source of the news. We'll continue to update this list, so make sure to check back right here.

Updated with Dorsey and Battle, as confirmed by Pat Donahue. Updated again with Csaszar. And again with Stevens. And again with Caggiano and Brooks. And again with Lynn and Jordan.

Tons of new offers have been extended by Maryland:

So that's three offers in the DMV (Smith, McKennie and McNair), two more in the regular recruiting area (Feder and Hatton), two in Big Ten territory (Knight and Burrow) and three in football-fertile states that Maryland is trying to make a push into (White, Tanyi and Knight).

Maryland commit E.J. Donahue received offers from Florida State and Wisconsin.

Four-star local athlete Kamonte Carter committed to Penn State, and we looked at how that impacts Maryland's chances at our (arbitrary) mark of grabbing 50% of the top in-state talent.

Four-star defensive end Adam McLean picked up an offer from Clemson, visited Penn State for Junior Day and received an offer from Ohio State.

Four-star offensive guard Richie Petitbon attended Boston College's Junior Day.

Four-star athlete Jalen Christian picked up an offer from Rutgers.

Four-star tight end Chris Clark picked up offers from Ole Miss, Louisville, Auburn and Notre Dame. He has scheduled visits to Maryland, Penn State, Ohio State and Michigan for the month of March.

Three-star safety target Ayron Monroe picked up offers from Mississippi State and Penn State (where he attend Junior Day last weekend).

Three-star safety Jamile Johnson, one of three targets from South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas, committed to Oklahoma. Teammate Prentice McKinney picked up offers from Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Boise State, Michigan and Oregon State. The third member of the trio, JF Thomas, received an offer from Arkansas State.

Three-star offensive tackle Tyler Jordan picked up offers from Stanford and Penn State, and took an unofficial visit to Florida.

Three-star offensive guard Tommy Hatton visited Duke for Junior Day and also took visits to NC State, South Carolina and Georgia Tech.

Three-star cornerback Micah Abernathy attended Georgia's Junior Day, where he picked up an offer, and will be at Florida's Junior Day this weekend. He also received offers from Alabama and Louisville.

Three-star defensive end Ryan Buchholz attended Penn State's Junior Day and picked up offers from West Virginia, Pittsburgh and Purdue.
