Bazzie's announcement comes exactly a month after tight end Andrew Park from Lake Braddock in Virginia became the first commitment in next year's recruiting class. Bazzie originally was offered by Maryland on March 2, and he's the first in-state recruit in the class. He is unranked by the four major recruiting services, and 247sports.com and Rivals.com list him as a cornerback while Scout.com and ESPN list him as a wide receiver.
He's listed at about 6 feet, 180 pounds by all four services, giving him the size to play at either position at the next level. According to 247sports.com, Bazzie committed to Maryland over offers from Iowa State, Temple, Marshall, Monmouth and Old Dominion. Quince Orchard, located in Gaithersburg, is the same high school that produced Maryland defensive tackle Adam McLean.

Turgeon added that "logistics and common sense says two [players] should come back, but that always doesn't come into play when kids make these decisions." … Former Maryland coach Lefty Driesell confirmed that he failed to make the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
