Lamaar Thomas, ranked as the No. 28 running back in the country by Scout.com, will be visiting Maryland on Sept. 15 for the West Virginia game. He says the Terps are recruiting him the hardest. "It's home," he said. "It's only 20 minutes away and it would be great to be close, but it's not like it's a big thing...They said they want me at running back and that they'd want me in open space..."

"At one point in time Ohio State was my number one choice, but now I really feel they are all about even," Thomas said. "I could see myself playing at any of them and am comfortable at all three of these school."
