Quickly approaching the next school year, recruiting is in cruise control. Programs are still wanting to add pieces to their program and shape their roster. As a player, this can be a nerve racking time. There is no need to panic, as coaches will be out to see you play. Control the controllable things and work on your game.
PBR Maryland has been doing features throughout the summer highlighting players that have the ability to play at the college level. Today we focus on 2016 C Zach Adams of Stephen Decatur, ranked No. 39 in the state.
