In the last Maryland recruiting update, we touched upon the monumental commitment coming from five-star center Diamond Stone. However, just because you find your ‘diamond’ doesn’t mean you stop there. Recruiting is a never-ending process and the Maryland athletic program has still been very active on the circuit. Here are some of the latest updates from College Park.
Basketball:

The big man out of Milwaukee verbally committed to the Terps on March 27, but it is now official as he has signed. Maryland is already projected to be a top five team next season and Stone will play a key role in the team’s success. This is easily the biggest recruiting move of Turgeon’s tenure.
