John Tillman and Ryan Moran will have an embarrassment of riches on the offensive end in two years from a depth standpoint. I wasn’t overly impressed with these future Terps as a whole until after the summer, where many stood out at both individual showcases and club tournaments, but now it’s looking like a very solid class. The first domino to fall here, Curtis Zappala (No. 16 – Episcopal Academy, Pa.) is one of the more crafty scorers in the class. Rocco Sutherland (No. 39 – Northport, N.Y.) is another creative dodger who had an impressive summer, especially at Maverik Showtime. Also at attack, Louis Dubick (No. 32 – Winston Churchill, Md.) is a savvy and slippery player to lock down, showing just this past weekend that he hasn’t lost a step after ankle surgery early in the summer.
Arriving right as Charlie Raffa graduates, I expect face-off guru Austin Henningsen (No. 14 – Northport, N.Y.) to be a force right off the bat. He was tremendous in the spring and at Under Armour in July. Two underrated recruits out of the West – Noah Assaraf (Cathedral Catholic, Calif.) andGarrett Bullett (Alta, Ut.) really impressed me during my time in NorCal for Adrenaline’s Sonoma Shootout. Assaraf is a horse of an athlete and will be a stud defensive and transition-oriented midfielder. Bullett is rather unique – he’s great between the lines but can also play settled offense with his longstick.
