that def is really weird, even moreso the total numbers over 3 classes, as d guys don't get the rankings love attackmen do. 3 close d guys in the last 3 classes? they do have 4 lsms, which you'd think tillman has designs on converting 1 or 2. have to assume he'll be portal shopping d next year and maybe the year after unless he has some rabbits up his sleeve.Well, Maryland didn't get any 5 star recruits for the 2nd recruiting class in a row.
Further, Maryland didn't get any top rated close defensemen in the previous 2 classes, and while they did get Evan March in this class, that is it. So Maryland's weakness at recruiting close defensemen is somewhat akin to Syracuse's at getting attackmen.
