DeShawn Painter: Still No Decision

Ok, so this one was a challenge. Maybe it was the fact that it was Mother's Day or the fact that there wasn't much news to be had on the NC State end, but we weren't having much luck getting any DeShawn Painter updates last night...however, don't fret, after a few phone calls we finally got what we wanted.

According to a reliable Maryland source "It's been kind of quiet around here (concerning Painter). I know they were hoping for a commitment but they did not get one."

Although it's only a small bit of information, the source was certain Painter did not accept an offer from Maryland on his visit. So what does that mean for the Pack? It's surely a good thing since, as we reported earlier, the NC State staff felt good about how DeShawn's visit went when he came to Raleigh. The fact that Painter left Maryland without accepting anything is what the Pack was hoping for. We don't know the specifics of his Maryland visit, but we have someone working on that, so hopefully we can give you a run down on just what the College Park visit entailed. This was DeShawn's final official visit, as all three of the schools he was considering have been visited (VT, NC State, Maryland). Not exactly sure when we should be expecting a decision but we'll keep our eyes and ears open.
