Justus Pickett signs with Maryland
Maryland has added a post-Signing Day commitment to its 2011 recruiting class.
Justus Pickett, a 5-foot-10, 173-pound running back from Ardrey Kell High in Charlotte, N.C., signed a letter of intent with the Terps on Monday.
A three-star prospect and Rivals.com's No. 10 all-purpose back in the country, Pickett picked Maryland over Arkansas and West Virginia. He rushed for 2,429 yards and 31 touchdowns as a senior.

Looks like a very nice "under the radar" get, especially after the hoopla surrounding the national signing day and some concern that the Terps had not addressed the RB position. Welcome aboard, Mr. Pickett.

According to Scout's combine results, this kid only ran a 4.66 40. Not exactly impressive considering how undersized he is. Hopefully he is faster then that, I would love to see Maryland find a way to make use of small backs like they have at West Virginia.
