With relatives living in Maryland and fond memories of the Terps' 2002 national championship lingering in his mind, Jake Layman always had interest in UM's basketball program. Maryland's interest in the 6-foot-8, 195-pound small forward, however, took a bit longer to develop. “Honestly, they were one of the last ones to kind of start recruiting me a little bit,” said Layman, who has family in the Bel Air area. “I always wanted Maryland. I always loved Maryland. When I got the call from Coach Bino [ Ranson ]

Lukas Foreman, a defensive back-turned linebacker, has been suspended by Maryland for one year for violating the student-athlete code of conduct, the school said. Foreman, 6-3, 205 pounds, entered Maryland last season as a defensive back and redshirted. He switched to linebacker prior to spring practice. He was listed on the depth chart as a backup SAM linebacker. Foreman was recruited from Naples (Fla.) High by former Maryland defensive coordinator Don Brown. Maryland has now announced this week that three athletes -- basketball players Terrell Stoglin and Mychal Parker were the others -- have been suspended for a year.

When he was in elementary school, Maryland guard Terrell Stoglin - already talented - created a scrapbook about his basketball skills. “No one can stop him,” Stoglin wrote. No one, it seems, but himself. On Monday, Maryland confirmed that Stoglin - a prodigious scorer who took a higher percentage of the team's total shots last season than almost any Terp in the last 60 years - had been suspended for a year for violating rules governing student athletes. Stoglin, a sophomore, entered his name for the NBA draft on Sunday, the last day a player could sign up for the June 28th draft.

Let's make this perfectly clear about Maryland's incoming class of basketball recruits: they are not the Fab Five and probably not anything close collectively to what Kentucky, the Terps' opening-game opponent for the 2012-13 season, will put on the court at the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., come Nov. 9. But from what I saw Saturday night in the Capital Classic at T.C. Williams High in Northern Virginia, help is clearly -- or...

Sophomore wing Mychal Parker, at one point the centerpiece of former coach Gary Williams' last recruiting class at Maryland, will transfer after two inconsistent seasons at the school, a team spokesman confirmed Monday. In a lengthy statement published on TheRecruitScoop.com , Parker called his decision to leave “the toughest … of my life.” With the late-season surge of ACC All-Freshman guard Nick Faust and the impending arrival of forward recruit Jake Layman, ESPNBoston.com's “Mr.

After covering three North Carolina wins over Maryland this season, I'm ready to move on. I've seen the movie now, and I know how it ends. Give Maryland credit for believing they could win. That's the arrogance of youth. And I mean that in a positive way. “We had a lot of confidence, especially when the game was close,” said Terrell Stoglin, who scored 30 points and shot better than 50 percent for the second straight day. “We thought we was going to make another run and take the lead.” But Maryland's initial optimism meant that the Terps were awfully disappointed when the 85-69 contest was over.

Mark Turgeon's first season at Maryland likely ended with an 85-69 loss to top-seeded North Carolina in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament Friday in Atlanta. Despite the Terps losing four of their last five games and with seemingly little chance for an NIT bid, Turgeon's inaugural season in College Park left something for fans that Randy Edsall's debut in College Park did not. Hope. It wasn't the fact that a team that played its first and last month of the season without Pe'Shon Howard, Turgeon's only true point guard, proved to be a tough out at home against both North Carolina and Duke.

I wrote two stories for tomorrow's paper about Maryland sophomore Terrell Stoglin. I had been wanting to learn more about what kind of guy Terrell is, and whether he was assured of returning for his junior season. He's obviously a versatile scorer - tough, intense, rarely in doubt - and he has taken an almost unprecedented percentage of the team's shots this season. He accounts for slightly more than 30 percent of Maryland's field-goal attempts this season, which places him historically in a small group of Terps who really liked to shoot it. I looked into this bit of hoops history with John McNamara of the Annapolis Capital.

Terrell Stoglin picked up a red pen when he was in first grade, and out poured his vision of future basketball glory on page after page that he stapled together and proudly presented to his parents. "No one can stop him," Terrell wrote about Terrell on lined construction paper, the sort children use to practice the alphabet. "Watch out Michael [Jordan] because this boy is taking over your sport!" Fifteen years later, Maryland's 6-foot guard covets the NBA and plays with audacity — as if he were still running in pickup games through southern Arizona's desert heat, needing feverishly to prove he can outplay the bigger boys.

Maryland guard Terrell Stoglin was named second-team All-ACC on Monday, becoming the first player in more than a decade to lead the conference in scoring and not earn first-team honors. Terps guard Nick Faust (City) was named to the conference's All-Freshman team. Stoglin's 21.2 points per game were nearly three more than that of second-leading scorer Mike Scott (17.9). The Virginia big man shared first-team honors with Duke guard Austin Rivers and North Carolina forwards Tyler Zeller, John Henson and Harrison Barnes.
