Maze Says Go Big Orange, Doesn't Talk U-Md.

It didn't take long for Bobby Maze to find a new home. The one-time Suitland High standout and recent Maryland recruit is bound for Tennessee.

"Stevie Wonder could see this is where I needed to be," Maze told the Knoxville News-Sentinel. "They've called me 'The Solution' here [at Hutchinson, Kan., Community College], so you do the equation: What better place could I be?

"The plane landed and I breathed in that Knoxville air. You see those seats in the arena and how high they go up, and all the sellout crowds, the Jumbotron screens everywhere, the practice facility. You have every tool here to be successful."

Interestingly, this story makes no mention of Maze's commitment to Maryland.

I thought Maryland had decided not to take Maze. Didn't the University of Maryland actually reneg on it's agreement with Maze?
