Maryland lands 2021 guard Ike Cornish

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Ike Cornish, the 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Legacy Charter (SC), committed to Maryland on Wednesday.

Cornish, ranked the No. 21 shooting guard in the 247Sports.com composite rankings, chose the Terps over Georgetown, Rutgers, St. John’s, Virginia Tech, and Xavier.

“They think I can fit in their play style and really be effective for their squad,” Cornish said recently of Maryland.

His older brother, Josh Cornish, recently moved to Bowie State (MD) from Southern Utah.
