ESPNU 100 SG Nick Faust (Baltimore, Md./Baltimore City College) has decided to stay home and play for coach Gary Williams at Maryland. The Baltimore native chose the Terrapins over Marquette, Florida State, Villanova and Oregon State. "I wanted to stay close to home and play in front of family and friends and someday give back to my hometown," said Faust. "I feel I can make an impact as a freshman." [+] Enlarge Kelly Kline Nick Faust is the No. 9-ranked shooting guard in the 2011 class. Faust, who started turning heads playing for Baltimore Elite, has been one of the biggest surprises of the spring and summer circuits. Don’t let his innocent looking face and thin frame (6-foot-6, 180 pounds) fool you, he will drop big numbers on opponents without hesitation. When he’s left alone for a spilt second whether in transition or the half-court set he will make the open shot, especially from deep. He is a high-energy play who has a long, athletic body to shoot over defenders or finish in the paint. Plus, he handles the ball well as a secondary ballhandler and because of his instincts and basketball IQ he can make the assist or play off the ball. Defensively, he uses his long frame to contest jumpers and then rebound down to help his team. "Nick is a great kid both on and off the court," said Baltimore Elite coach Bob Carrington, who has coached the No. 25-ranked player in the country since he was 8 years old.-espn Finally a top recruit for us
