Maryland's pursuit of one of the nation’s top high school basketball players in the Class of 2016 is starting to resemble the team's recruitment of one of the top players from 2015, which could be good news for coach Mark Turgeon.
Josh Jackson, the 6-foot-7, 195-pound wing from Detroit rated the No. 1 prospect in the country, told InsideMDSports.com over the weekend that he plans on taking an official visit to College Park before announcing his college choice.
It was previously believed that the Terps were out of the running and that Jackson, who is now playing for Prolific Prep in California, was deciding between Michigan State and Arizona.
