Once the No. 1 player in his class, Chol Marial has seen his stock slide due to injuries. His coach believes he's healthy and ready to go. Averaged eight blocks last season and can shoot. Maryland needed another big and he's definitely big. #Terps pic.twitter.com/vgSpJ5IWG5

What's the old saying — if you're go, go big!! #Terps can't get much bigger than this dude.. Adding guys with lottery potential is never a bad plan.. @TerrapinHoops keeps stacking big time recruiting classes.. Only way to win big time.. https://t.co/h0OWG3bZ5g

I love the Chol Marial pickup for Maryland.

If his injury history continues, the Terps have other young weapons.

If he's healthy, he could be one of the most talented players to come through College Park in a long time. https://t.co/3g26nN921J
