All it took was one official visit. Gus Gilchrist had no idea that he'd visit College Park this past weekend and enjoy himself enough to become a Terp. On Sunday, Gilchrist made it official, offering a verbal commitment to the Terrapins' coaching staff. Gilchrist picked the Terps over interest from Georgetown, Kansas, Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia. Gilchrist -- a four-star center/power forward -- originally signed a Letter of Intent to play basketball at Virginia Tech, where he would've been a freshman now. But according to Terrelle Woody, Gilchrist's longtime trainer/mentor, the shootings on the Blacksburg campus last April caused the 6-foot-10, 235-pound big man to reevaluate things.
