Weekly recruiting roundup
Thanks to his play at the NBPA Top 100 Camp in Charlottesville, Va., last month, Nate Britt's stock is at an all-time high.
CBSSports.com called Britt, a rising junior from Gonzaga (D.C.) and Terps target, the "best point guard in the country" regardless of class.
Georgia Tech, Florida, North Carolina State, Virginia, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Marquette, Duke, Maryland and Seton Hall have all reached out.
Britt isn’t ready to think about trimming his list or taking unofficial visits yet.
• Ardmore.Patch.com this week profiled Terps forward target Amile Jefferson.
While Jefferson finds himself in the position as one of the most coveted power forwards in the nation, it has not been through happenstance. He’s consistently consistent. Think Tim Duncan on a high school level, not flashy by any means, but a player who is fundamentally sound and does everything well. That’s Jefferson’s game. His talent was forged by dedication, attention to detail and a never-ending desire to win.
• Guard Christian Sanders was scheduled to visit Kansas this week, according to the Lawrence (Kan.) Journal World.
Christian Sanders, a 6-foot-2 senior-to-be from St. Thomas High School in Houston, will make an unofficial recruiting visit to KU on Thursday, ESPN’s Dave Telep reports. He has visited Stanford and also has Maryland, Texas and Colorado on his early list. He’s son of former KU guard Brad Sanders
• DeMatha forward Jerami Grant updated his recruitment from the Kevin Durant Nike Skills Academy in Chicago.
As far as colleges, Grant listed Miami, Virginia Tech, N.C. State, Syracuse, Rutgers, Clemson and Maryland.
• CBSSports.com got an update on "stock-riser" and Terps forward target Arnaud Moto.
While he doesn’t have a set school list, Moto said he wants to visit Virginia Tech, North Carolina State and Wake Forest in June. He is also hearing from Miami (Fl.), Maryland, Seton Hall and Georgia Tech.
• Lost Letterman wrote this week about Terps center target Shaquille Cleare.
“I have seen Cleare blossom over the years. Now, I see him as a 6-foot-9, 280-pound player whose skills are off the charts,” Cleare’s high school coach Don Harvey said, according to Vype, a high school sports magazine.
Football recruiting
• Terrapin Station caught up this week with UM quarterback pledge Caleb Rowe.
“As a quarterback I just try to be a leader, getting the ball out to the playmakers and letting them play football,” he said. “I’m a leader, so I can lead a team. I feel like I can make all the throws, I can scramble a little bit, and I can throw on the run so I feel like I’m a pretty versatile player.”
• Maryland-bound offensive lineman Stephen Grommer was named to the Spartanburg (S.C.) Herald-Journal's All-Area Boys Track second team.
Grommer is the Region III-4A champion and finished third in the county and fifth in the state meets.
• The Washington Post and the Frederick News Post both wrote commitment stories on Terps athlete pledge Joe Riddle, a rising senior from Linganore.

Matt:
If you had to bet, who do you think Turgeon signs for 2012?

Josh: Think I'm going to punt on this one. I'm not good at predictions. The only uncommitted guy that I feel confident in the Terps landing is Cleare. -- Matt
