Weekend wrap – Hills' team stays unbeaten
Perry Hills made sure his Pittsburgh Central Catholic squad would enter the postseason undefeated.
On Friday night, the Maryland-bound quarterback guided the Vikings (9-0, 6-0 in conference) to a 49-7 win over Fox Chapel.
Leading the way for the Vikings was the combination of Maryland-bound senior quarterback Perry Hills, who went 15 for 17 for 227 yards with one touchdown, and senior wide receiver Brandon Farrell, who caught six passes for 145 yards and a touchdown.
• UM cornerback recruit Sean Davis rushed for 142 yards on 16 carries (including an 8-yard touchdown run) and returned a kickoff 84 yards for a score in helping Maret (D.C.) to a 30-6 win over Saint James.
• Terps quarterback pledge Caleb Rowe guided Blue Ridge to a 50-20 win over Union County (S.C.).
Quarterback Caleb Rowe ran for a 3-yarder and tossed a 34-yarder to Brennen Griffin.
• Maryland linebacker commitment Stefan Houston caught a touchdown pass in Clarksburg's 30-12 loss to Bethesda-Chevy Chase.
Freshman Joey Nacci started in his place and threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Stefan Houston on the the Coyotes opening drive, which started after a B-CC fumble.
• UM linebacker recruit Avery Thompson found the end zone once in Grassfield (Va.) High's 21-14 loss to Oscar Smith.
Grassfield (8-1, 7-1) answered on its next possession when Avery Thompson scored from 29 yards out to cut the deficit to 14-7 with 9:54 left.
Basketball recruiting
• Maryland-bound center Shaquille Cleare checked out the Terps' scrimmage Saturday while he was on his official visit.
And, finally, there was Shaquille Cleare, the 6-foot-9, 285-pound center from The Village School in Houston who is Maryland’s top recruit for 2012-13. Cleare, who has orally committed, sat in the lower stands wearing a black sweat suit and black cap and frequently talking with Turgeon.
Comments
Matt, with the Terps now apparently off of McGary's and Jefferson's repective boards, what are you hearing about the program's realistic options, moving forward, to address the front court for 2012? Also, is Torian Graham a legitimate "get" or simply a reach because of Maryland's prior contact with him?
Also, while I do not want to speculate on Len's qualification, it seems that the longer this process drags out, the less likely his clearance will be obtained. I understand that Turgeon stated his hope (belief?) that he'd hear something today. Any new info--that you can share--received on this matter?

Terp'nTexas: I think Graham is a legitimate target. He's reportedly scheduled to visit this weekend, so he's definitely a guy worth monitoring. Charles Mitchell and Robert Carter are in the mix as well, but it's hard to say how good Maryland's chances are with either. It's certainly a smaller pool, but I'm guessing more targets will pop up after the fall signing period. On Len, I don't have any new info to provide. Jeff Barker is monitoring that situation. -- Matt
