Earlier this month, the Maryland Terrapins put out a key offer in the 2023 recruiting cycle. Mark Turgeon and his staff decided to offer 2023 prospect Shawn Simmons.

Simmons comes out of Wynnewood, Pennsylvania and is rated as a three-star prospect and the third-best player in the state by 247Sports. The recruiting site also lists him as 6-foot-5 and 175 pounds. It appears he’s a player on the rise. Along with Maryland, he also has offers from Butler, Pittsburgh, and Seton Hall among others.
Maryland currently has no commitments in the program’s 2023 recruiting class, but it’s obviously still pretty early. Fans will be hoping Turgeon and his staff can get started with a commitment from Simmons. And with a few productive seasons in a row, it seems like momentum will be on their side. However, there’s still a long way to go as he’s a 2023 prospect. Fans will have to stay tuned.
