Signing Day notes

Just a sampling of random Maryland-related notes on Signing Day ...

• Will Milford Mill defensive tackle Teddy Dargan be able to sign a National Letter of Intent? Dargan's been committed to the Terps since 2006, but academics could prevent the 6-foot-3, 310-pounder from signing. We'll see what Ralph Friedgen has to say later today.

Update: Dargan did not sign a letter of intent. Friedgen cited academics as the reason for Dargan's exclusion from the Terps' class.

• Hargrave running back Enrique Davis was mulling a visit to College Park after Signing Day, but today the five-star recruit inked with Ole Miss.

• Oklahoma quarterback Nathan Stanley's NLI hasn't surfaced at any school, as of this writing. Stanley visited Maryland, Oregon State, Ole Miss, Florida Atlantic and Louisiana Tech.

Update: Stanley signed with Ole Miss.

• Former Maryland verbal commitments Tyler Urban and Tavon Wilson have signed their respective letters of intent. Urban's letter arrived at West Virginia, while Wilson's landed at Illinois. The other Terp decommit, former Wilde Lake standout Zach Brown, switched his verbal from Maryland to North Carolina. But according to UNC's official site, Brown's NLI has yet to reach the Chapel Hill football offices. It could be just a natural, explainable delay, but Brown's recruitment has always been one to watch.

Update: Brown's NLI arrived at North Carolina at 2:52 p.m.

What happened with Enrique Davis? Even though Scout.com had Maryland as his #2 ranked school, he was never invited in for a visit and they didn't offer him a scholarship. Was there some baggage issues, or did they just drop the ball.
Also, what is the word on Reuben Johnson? Has he committed? Do the Terps have a chance to get him?
