Four-star combo guard Eric Ayala, who announced his commitment to the Maryland men's basketball program Oct. 14, is already working toward getting other recruits to join him in College Park, Md., he told Glenn Clark Radio Oct. 17.
Ayala, a Wilmington, Del., native, competed against center Moses Brown (Jamaica, N.Y.), one of the top big men in the class of 2018, in the Under Armour Association (UAA) the past two summers. Brown has long been recruited by the Terps and took an official visit to College Park last month. Brown took an official visit to Florida State Oct. 20-22 and will take an official visit to UCLA Oct. 27-29.
Maryland senior center Michal Cekovsky is set to graduate after this year, so Brown -- a mobile 7-footer who's rated 15th nationally on 24/7 Sports' composite rankings -- would fill a need. The Terps' 2018 recruiting class already is rated as one of the best in the country thanks to commitments from Ayala, five-star Baltimore forward Jalen Smith (Mount St. Joseph) and four-star North Carolina wing Aaron Wiggins.
