The Harris twins remain uncommitted following last night's UA All-America game. The twins played well in the game, combining for three tackles for loss. The expectation (MY expectation) leading up to the early signing period was that the twins were going to sign with Maryland after decommitting from UCF following the loss of their defensive coordinator to Arkansas. But the twins said this week that the plan is to now hold off until Feb. 1 and that a visit to Arkansas is a possibility. Everything I was hearing leading up to the early signing period was that Arkansas wasn't an option. But it appears maybe things are changing on that front. I still like Maryland's chances here, but Locks & Co. will have to continue to prioritize the twins and hope things don't materialize with Arkansas. If they do, it could become a real battle. But as I've mentioned before, this is one of those recruitments where, from everything I've been told, all parties have never been 100% on board with any decision. They have just really struggled to get everyone on the same page throughout. All of that said, these are two extremely talented kids at a position of need and they will continue to do whatever is necessary to get them on campus.
The other big name for Terps fans from last night's game is local five-star Nyckoles Harbor. As expected, he played on the offensive side of the ball and he's made it known that is where he wants to play at the next level. The big surprise here is that he now plans on taking an official visit to Oregon. It seems no Miami, no LSU, but Oregon will get an official visit. As of now, I still have a hard time seeing them as a major player here. Could they become one following the visit? Sure, but they will need to absolutely blow him away. The other three schools that remain in the mix are Maryland, Michigan and South Carolina, with the Terps and Wolverines seemingly leading the way. The big news coming out of the last couple of days that could perhaps really benefit the Terps here is the news Harbaugh could be headed back to the NFL. As most of you probably already know, he thought he had the Vikings job last offseason and was planning to leave before they decided to go in a different direction. There are multiple teams with ties to Harbaugh looking for a new head coach this offseason and it looks like a real possibility he bolts back to the pro ranks. If that happens, I have the Terps way out ahead of the pack heading into Feb. As is, I've gone on record, I think the Terps lead here and as of now nothing has happened to make me think otherwise.
