The Maryland Terrapins are a team that coming into the season a lot of people had pegged for a run to the Final Four. That still may happen because this team is very talented, but overall this has been a disappointing season for the Terps and they are hoping to wash that all way with a deep tournament run.

With their first game of the tournament still a few days away, the Terrapins received some good news Tuesday morning regarding their future. Maryland will lose two key seniors after this season (Rasheed Sulaimon and Jake Layman) and possibly some underclassmen so it needs to re-stock the roster a little bit.

Recruiting for players in the 2016 class is pretty much done, with a few stragglers here and there, but Maryland has picked one of them up. Small forward Micah Thomas has decided that he will play his college basketball in College Park next season. Thomas chose Maryland over Memphis, Iowa State, Baylor and Louisville among others.

Louisville and Maryland were considered neck-and-neck for the small forward, but he decided to commit to the Terps before even taking an official visit there. Thomas visited Louisville in February and is scheduled to visit Maryland in the beginning of April. He will now join four-star guards Anthony Cowan and Kevin Huerter as the three-man class for Maryland in 2016. Right now that class ranks 17th in the nation, but head coach Mark Turgeon may not be done recruiting because he has some players that could look to leave early for the NBA.

As for Thomas, he is a 6-foot-7 small forward from Memphis, Tenn., that is considered a three-star prospect. Thomas is ranked as the 162nd best player in the 2016 class and the 35th best small forward. He has very good size and length for a wing player at the Division-I level. The book on him is that he is a versatile player that can make shots and rebound while also having good athleticism to be able to make plays at the rim. Like many players his age, Thomas needs to bulk up and fine-tune his skills, but he is a high upside guy that didn't get that much national attention on the recruiting circuit.
