Maryland basketball’s 2019 class includes three members, and they’ve all had fantastic senior seasons on the high school circuit.

Four-star forward Donta Scott led Imhotep Charter High School to the Philadelphia Public League championship on Saturday night, scoring 22 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in the Panthers’ 63-41 win over Constitution. The 6’7 senior shot 9-of-11 from the floor, making both of his threes, and added two assists, a block and this dunk in his MVP performance.

Last weekend, twin bigs Makhi and Makhel Mitchell helped lead Woodrow Wilson High School to a 92-48 win over Theodore Roosevelt, which clinched the school’s third straight D.C. Interscholastic Athletic Association title. Both twins had double-doubles, combining for 26 points and 28 rebounds. The Tigers went undefeated against DCIAA teams this season, beating them by an average of 36 points, and posted a 26-6 record overall.

The Mitchells committed to Maryland in August 2017, while Scott pledged in October. All three signed their Letters of Intent in November. The Terps won’t have any open scholarships if all eligible players return, but at least Bruno Fernando is expected to enter the NBA Draft.
