With the last holdouts among the top 100 prospects in the '07 classes finally signing, among them Jai Lucas finally ending a recruitment that had gone on for decades, the major gurus put out their final rankings in the past week.
It was somewhat disappointing for Terps' fans to see the rankings not displaying many of the Terps' signings. It isn't surprising, and make no mistake the incoming group should be productive and fit into the Maryland system, but as a fan you'd like to see those guys get more recognition. That's life though. Here are a sampling of the rankings:
Braxton Dupree: Scout (#90, #16 C), Rivals (#15 C)
Dino Gregory: Rivals (#40 PF)
Cliff Tucker: Scout (#32 SF), Rivals (#91, #20 SG)
Adrian Bowie: Scout (#28 SF), Rivals (#30 SG)
But as we saw with this year's class, and with so many past classes in Maryland basketball history, the rankings just don't matter all that much. Gary Williams is a proven winner and a great talent scout. All of these players are said to be the types that Gary has won with over the years - hard workers who fit the system and will work to maximize their talent. It's a good time to be a Terps fan.
