Maryland Basketball: Trevon Duval reopens recruitment
Trevon Duval made an unexpected announcement on Tuesday evening.
The five-star guard announced that he will reopen his recruitment to all schools.
Duval visited Kansas this past weekend, which was one of the nine schools that were included on his latest list. Maryland was also among those nine schools.
Arizona, California, Oregon, Seton Hall, St. John’s, USC, and Villanova were the other seven schools that were on Duval’s list prior to Tuesday’s announcement.
According to InsideMDSports, Duval’s father, Trevor, has given some insight on his son’s recruitment.
Duval’s dad, Trevor, told IMS around the same time that his son was going to choose a school that’s “been consistent with him, where he feels comfortable with a lot of people” but seemingly contradicted himself in the same conversation when he said he told his son he “might want to open (his recruitment) back up”.
Duval currently attends IMG Academy in Florida, which just so happens to be where new Terrapins commit Bruno Fernando goes to school. The star guard is the top-ranked point guard in the country and the fifth-best player, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.
Coach Mark Turgeon and his staff visited IMG Academy at the end of September to check on both Duval and Fernando. Fernando visited College Park this past weekend and ended up committing on Sunday afternoon.
Maryland has been involved with Duval’s recruitment for several years. The Terps offered the New Jersey native back on April 15, 2015.
Duval has offers from just about every marquee program in the country. Duke, Kentucky, and North Carolina haven’t offered, but it wouldn’t be a stretch to see them get involved with Duval’s recruitment opening back up.
The Terps do have Melo Trimble for one or potentially two more seasons. Anthony Cowan will be a freshman this coming season and is one of the more talked-about incoming recruits at the position.
While it’s not a necessity for Maryland to land Duval, a player of his caliber doesn’t come around too often.
