The above quote was from an article in the Sunpapers Sunday morning. The wait is over–Sam listened to his father –checked out Pitt and South Florida but wisely chose to bring his talents to College Park. Let there be no doubt, Sam is a tremendous addition to the 2012 recruiting class. he is a dead eye shooter who certainly will be in the point gourd mix. Just think of the depth in the guard position now for the Terps. Stogs, … Read More »

In Cleare, Maryland gets one of its highest-rated recruits in years, a burly low-post presence who became a consensus top-30 recruit in just four years of playing organized basketball. Cleare, who averaged 22 points and 14 rebounds as a junior, will provide immediate help to a Maryland frontcourt in dire need. He’s a tank in the post, capable of overpowering opposing players but also blessed with soft hands and a good shooting touch.
Happy days are here again. The first domino has fell in the resurgance of the Maryland Basketball program. After weeks of anticipation, Shaquille Cleare has verbally committed to be a TERP!!!!! This is the key guy–why–because now the other bigs across the land know that Maryland has one of the premiere centers for 2012.

Coach Aaron Harrison of the Houston Defenders comments on Shaq:
“Shaq is just getting back from the Bahamas today (even though school has begun at the Village School) and I am sure he and his family will be making his visit to Maryland soon. It’s always been his #1 school, and I’m not aware of any other schools he is seriously considering.”
Now I know why Bino, Turge, G , Calipari, etc have spent so much time in Houston. This is one awesome team. My analysis of the 5 Terrapin targets:
Shaquille Cleare–tremendous mobility for a 6’9 285 lb guy. More then held his own against one of the best defenders in the nation. Has a great sense fo rthe ball inside. Gets up real quick for someone so big. When the ball gets in his hands it’s over. Good inside moves. … Read More »
