- According to the Herald-Dispatch, 2013 center Dominic Woodson has removed the Terps from his choice of schools. The 6-foot-10 295-pounder from Huntington Prep. According to sources, his top choices are now Memphis, Cincy, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Gonzaga.

- Another player has taken the Terps off his list is 6-foot-6, 190-pound 2014 small forward Theo Pinson. Pinson is from the Wesleyan Christian Academy in North Carolina. According to ESPN.com he is the second ranked small forward in the 2014 class. He committed Wednesday to UNC. This choice could prove problematic for the Terps because many analysts thought that Pinson would choose Indiana. Since, the Hoosiers lost out on him, it appears they will push even harder now for big-time Terps prospect Dion Wiley
- The Antonio Barton sweepstakes continues. The most recent team that appears to have fallen off the list of potential suitors is Syracuse. Barton visited Maryland last week and it appears that his decision will come down to Maryland and Tennessee. Both schools Barton would have an opportunity to come in and start right away. The thing the Terps have going for them is obviously Baltimore is home for Barton and his family and daughter are here. According to Terrapinstation.com, Barton will announce his decision on Sunday.
Football
- The Terps offered 2014 shooting guard Nat DIxon from Lynn Haven, Florida. The 6-foot-5 175-pound wide receiver. Dixon is also being recruited heavily by schools for basketball. He currently holds football offers from Maryland, Chattanooga, and Wofford.
- This is kind of a cross-over recruit, but 2015 football/basketball star Kai Locksley (yes, son of Maryland recruiting coordinator Mike Locksley) is receiving interest for both sports. He stands 6-foot-4 and 185-pounds. We have all heard that Locksley is a good recruiter, I suppose this will be a good test of that. It will be interesting what sport Locksley chooses. He has football offers from FSU and Maryland, but is currently playing in the EYBL league and performing at a high level. Last year, on the gridiron, Locksley played WR because Gilman had Maryland-commit Shane Cockerille behind center. It appears that next year Locksley will be the Greyhounds signal caller.
- According to the TerrapinTimes, Coatesville (PA) junior linebacker Tyler Burke has the Terps in his top three. According to Syracuse.com, he will be visiting the ‘Cuse in the near future as they are also a school of interest. He also has visits to Wisconsin at the end of June as well as a trip to Rutgers. His hopes are to commit before his senior season starts.
