That whole “locally grown” movement finally has hit Maryland.

It was extraordinarily significant this past week when Dion Wiley of Team Takeover—a newer power among D.C. Metro club teams— joined Romelo Tremble of DC Assault in committing to join the Terps for 2014.

 

According to ESPN recruiting analyst Dave Telep, Romelo Trimble is a top-50 talent and Dion Wiley is in the top-25 neighborhood. With top-50 point guard Roddy Peters joining the Maryland program from DC Assault this fall, it is clear there has been a revolution in the recruiting process under coach Mark Turgeon.

 

The DMV region—DC, Maryland, Northern Virginia—has produced a consensus first or second-team All-American for eight consecutive seasons.
