The Maryland basketball program is one of eight finalists for David Beatty, a class of 2017 four-star combo guard. Beatty announced it on Twitter on Tuesday evening.
The other finalists, along with the Terrapins: UCLA, Georgetown, Virginia, Indiana, Connecticut, Temple and La Salle. Beatty attends St. Benedict’s Preparatory School in Philadelphia, which likely explains the inclusion of the latter two schools.
The 247Sports Composite pegs Beatty as the No. 4 combo guard in the class and the No. 100 player overall. The Crystal Ball overwhelmingly projects him to UConn.
Maryland is in solid guard shape for a long time.
