Last month, the Maryland Terrapins put out a key offer in the 2023 recruiting cycle. Mark Turgeon and his staff decided to offer 2023 prospect Darrin Ames.

Ames comes out of Chicago, Illinois and is largely unrated by the national scouting services. However, he is attracting some serious midwestern attention and is listed at 6-foot-0 and 160 pounds by Verbal Commits. Along with Maryland, he also has offers from Appalachian State, Illinois, Michigan State, Nebraska, and Western Illinois 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 Ames. 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.
