Weekend wrap – Ex-Terps pledge makes decision
Four months ago, Montrose Christian shooting guard Terrence Ross withdrew his commitment to Maryland.
Several weeks later, Ross left the Rockville school and moved back home to Portland, Ore. Now it appears he will stay on the West Coast for college.
“I am going to Washington because of the great relationship I have with the team and coaches. I thought it would be the best choice for me and I would fit in with the team,” Ross told ZAGSBLOG contributor Alex Kline via Facebook.
• The Louisville Courier-Journal reports that Huntington (W.Va.) Prep center Gorgui Dieng is seriously considering the Cardinals, along with several other programs.
The 6-foot-10 Dieng is expected to visit Marquette soon. He's also considering Marshall and Colorado, with Memphis, Michigan, South Florida, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Seton Hall, Virginia Tech, Virginia and Maryland also showing interest.
• Adam Zagoria reports that Maryland is one of many programs interested in Burlington (N.J.) Life Center Academy forward LaQuinton Ross.
Oklahoma State also flew in to watch Ross. Kentucky, Memphis and Maryland called to express interest. Mississippi State, Baylor and Temple are also involved.
• DeMatha sophomore shooting guard James Robinson has the Terps on his early list of schools.
James Robinson has an offer from Notre Dame to go with interest from Maryland and Georgetown. He did note that it is still extremely early in the process for him.

Chuck Driesell is leaving Maryland to be a Head Coach at the Citadel. Oh man, another turnover with the coaching staff; Our #1 Assistant too.

i thought chuck drissell was the main recruiter of the staff. this will leave a big hole. it would have been a natural fit to keep him and make him the next head coach....albeit football's jammie franklin.
