Sorry i've never heard of a RB from Maryland. Next question.
Actually, we tried to recruit a few over the years. Back in '89 we wanted Richie Anderson from Silver Spring. I remember talking to Kehoe about him after the '88 Michigan game in Ann Arbor. Art wanted him real bad. I suspect that was the attitude of the staff, too. He had a decent career at PSU and some time in the NFL.
Another lesser known RB we recruited the next year, was Rico Marshall from Forestville, MD. He took a visit to Miami with his teammate, Leslie Shepherd, who was a very polished receiver. I think Rico might have had an offer from Miami, but he signed with South Carolina. A few weeks after signing day, he was spotted in the streets by a cop, swallowed a bunch of cocaine, and overdosed.
It was all over the news. Showed his bedroom and there was a big UM blanket on his bed. Leslie signed with UM but never made it in academically, played for Temple and then the Redskins.
Irony was, I called Allsports right after Rico OD'ed to place an order and I spoke to a young woman working at the store. She told me that she also was part of that group that went around with the recruits. She said she had just accompanied these guys from Maryland, Rico and Leslie, a few weeks before. I had to tell her that Rico was gone.
Anyway, we have had some RBs from Maryland, and historically some good ones, like Chuck Foreman, who was an all-time great for the program. He probably had a lot better career with the Vikings than he had at UM in the early '70's.
So, once every decade, there might be a UM quality RB whom we might try to recruit. Every year, there will be at least several in Florida alone.
