After signing Boston star Jake Layman last year, the staff is recruiting several more players from the region in the 2014 and 2015 classes. One such prospect is junior Goodluck Okonoboh of Wilbraham & Monson Academy in Tilton, N.H. The 6-foot-8 center, ranked by 247Sports as the No. 26 overall player in country and No. 3 center, visited Maryland earlier this season with his coach and a couple of teammates. “I really enjoyed it. The guys there do a great job and everybody had a great time,” said Wilbraham and Monson coach Chris Sparks. “They have been doing a really good job [recruiting Okonoboh]. He’s just focused on improving and not really thinking about favorites or anything, but he liked it very much.”
