From Maryland
Maryland has added its fifth and likely final member of its 2016 recruiting class. Joshua Tomaic, a 6-foot-9 forward from the Canarias Basketball Academy in Spain, announced his plans to commit and sign his letter of intent on Wednesday via a school press release.
“I’m very extremely happy because I can make my dream come true,” Tomaic said in a release put out by CBA. “My family and I are very thankful with (head coach) Rob Orellana and all the CBA coaches; they gave me the great opportunity to be part of the Academy. I have worked so much and I have lived two hard years, but it doesn´t matter now because I´m going to be playing in the states. I think that Canarias Basketball Academy is the best place in the world to make your dreams come true and to achieve your goals”.
Tomaic is the second player from the Academy to sign with Maryland, joining junior center Michal Cekovsky. He’s a highly-skilled, fluid forward prospect who can play both on the perimeter and in the paint. He’s a respectable ball handler for his size with a good shooting stroke and a solid feel for the game.
“Joshua’s improvement has skyrocketed in the last two seasons,” Orellana said in the same release. “He has made a conscientious decision to work both on the court and in the books and what we are seeing today are the results of those efforts although he still has a big window for improvement. Also, the trust that Joshua and his mother put in us when Joshua had the opportunity to play for other clubs in the Canary Islands made us want to push him as much as possible. Knowing we helped a young man from the Canary Islands achieve his dreams makes it all the more gratifying”
