@RTDaSilva3 asks: locals are saying [Damian] Prince is leaning towards #Terps. How big of an impact would his commitment be?
Shanker: Youre right, as it looks like Maryland is in the drivers seat for not just Prince but talented defensive back Jalen Tabor as well. At different times in each players recruitment it seemed like Maryland was running behind, but the Terps have always been at least near the top and are now close to securing both of the regions top prospects. A commitment from Prince and Tabor would bring national headlines to a team that has struggled to produce them on the field under Randy Edsall. And if the Terps struggle again in 2013, a recruiting class with the likes of Jess Aniebonam, Prince and Tabor could keep Edsall around for 2014.
