Well from what I am picking up is that Prince wants to stay close to home, In Maryland's favor...

Our coaches laid everything out for him during his visit. The staff was extremely honest with him, something that Prince appreciated a lot. However, from post-OV interviews I've read elsewhere, he appeared "turned off" by the fact that even if he didn't redshirt, he would not likely start over players that have been in the program for 4-5 years. As it has been well-documented, early playing time is extremely important to Prince.

Maryland will likely give him the best opportunity to start at some point during his freshman year. Not an indication that Carolina isn't much of a factor with Prince, but more an indication he may favor other schools that can offer him exactly what he is seeking. He did go on to say that the recruiting process has become more difficult/confusing because programs are coming out of the woodwork to make a last minute push as NSD draws near.
