George McClure saw Roddy Peters in an open gym before his sophomore season and knew the wiry point guard was a Division I player. Damon Handon had similar thoughts after watching Peters dominate Prince George's County High School competition throughout his junior year.

Just one Division I program - St. Joseph's - had offered Peters a scholarship heading into his summer on the AAU circuit with Handon's program.

Does it change anything for Hill at all? I'm told Maryland has been pleased with Hill and continues  to feel that way.

Long before he began recruiting future NBA No. 2 draft pick Michael Beasley for Kansas State, Dalonte Hill said he grasped something important about the player's personality.

"People didn't know this about his recruitment, but if you pressure him, he goes into a shell," said Hill, a former coach in the D.C. Assault summer-league program in which Beasley starred.

It is going to be an interesting few days for Maryland basketball coach Mark Turgeon. Not only will Turgeon have to deal with the prospect of his first two-game losing streak since coming to College Park, the possibility of facing Duke without 7-1 freshman Alex Len (who sprained an ankle Saturday in the loss to Temple) and the hoopla surrounding naming of the court at Comcast Center in honor of longtime Terps coach Gary Williams.
