Derik Queen vs Maryland's best Freshmen, Pt. 1...

Where does Derik Queen's dazzling debut rank among Maryland basketball's best freshmen seasons ever?​

Somehow, Derik Queen's freshman season has exceeded the massive expectations that arrived with him as a five-star, locally grown phenom expected to star immediately and help lift the Terps back to the national stage. But where does his brilliant freshman season rank among Maryland's best freshmen ever?​


Almost impossibly, Derik Queen's freshman season has exceeded the massive expectations that arrived with him in College Park. A locally grown five-star phenom expected to star immediately and help return Maryland to the national stage. Queen's done all of the above, and on Tuesday, he was rewarded with Big Ten freshman of the year honors.

Queen has seamlessly adapted to college basketball, showing off his unusually high IQ and versatility, starting all 31 games and averaging 15.9 points and 9.1 rebounds per game.

Freshman of the year is always a major award, extra-impressive considering this year's Big Ten freshman crop, which includes four players projected as possible NBA Draft lottery picks this year. Queen beat all of those heralded newcomers, including Rutgers stars Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper, Illinois point guard Kasparas Jakucionis and Michigan State's Jase Richardson. Bailey, Queen, Harper and Jakucionis all have been projected as top 10 picks.

Queen was also named first-team All-Big Ten team by the conference's coaches and made second-team in the media vote, the first Maryland freshman to earn those honors since Melo Trimble in 2014-2015.

Trimble was the last freshman to arrive during a down cycle and hoist the program back to national relevancy. How does Queen's big debut season compare to Trimble's and other top Terps freshmen from past years?

Let's rank the top five:

More background on Derik Queen​

Queen was a freshman phenom in high school too. He teamed with Maryland frontcourt mate Julian Reese at the Baltimore athletics powerhouse before moving on to national power Montverde Academy (Fla.), where he teamed with Duke star Cooper Flagg and earned All-American honors. In the McDonald's All-American game, on a court with the nation's best high school seniors, he won co-MVP honors.
Queen was also named to ESPN's freshman All-American team. Jeff Borzello wrote
"Queen (15.9 PPG, 9.0 RPG) is a throwback big man who would have thrived in the old Big East. He's the reason Maryland will return to the NCAA tournament after missing the field last season. Queen has been consistently excellent, leading the Big Ten in rebounding in conference play and anchoring a Maryland team that is formidable at both ends"

5. Jordan Williams​

Although he wasn't rated highly, Gary Williams identified Jordan Williams early and went all-out to sign him. He showed why immediately, adding a reliable big man to complement the Terps' veteran backcourt, led by Greivis Vásquez, Eric Hayes, and Sean Mosley, averaging 11.8 points and 8.2 rebounds. Williams was a force on the boards and a reliable scorer with vacuum-like hands like Queen's. In one of the greatest NCAA Tournament performances by a Maryland freshman, Williams scored 21 points and grabbed 17 rebounds in an 89-77 win over Houston in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
One of Maryland basketball's most underrated recruits ever, he posted 10 points and eight rebounds in the second-round, but Maryland lost on that infamous buzzer-beater by Michigan State. He blossomed into a star as a sophomore (16.9 points, 10.2 rebounds per game), but left for the NBA after that season, a move that didn't work out for him and seemed to hasten Gary Williams' decision to retire.

4. John Lucas​

As a freshman in 1972-1973, Lucas was an instant hit. He averaged 14.2 points and 5.9 assists per game and helped lead Maryland to a 23-7 record and a berth in the NIT Final, a far more prestigious accomplishment then because only 18 teams made the NCAA Tournament, where a UCLA team on the most dominant run in the sport's history won its seventh title in a row.
Lucas later became the first Maryland player to earn first team All-ACC honors in three straight seasons and finished as Maryland's all-time leader in scoring (2,015) and assists (514), though those records have been surpassed by Juan Dixon and Steve Blake, respectively. Also an All-American in tennis and the No. 1selection in the 1976 NBA college draft, he spent 14 seasons in the NBA with the Rockets, Golden State Warriors, Washington Bullets, San Antonio Spurs, Milwaukee Bucks and Seattle SuperSonics. He later became a successful coach, including stints as the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs and Philadelphia 76ers and Cleveland Cavaliers.

3. Derik Queen​

Maryland has a rich basketball history, but hasn't had many as good as Queen. He's the first Maryland player to earn conference freshman of the year honors since Joe Smith in 1994, joining Buck Williams and Smith as the only Terrapins to win the award. Andy Kats of the Big Ten Network named him a second-team All-American on Tuesday, along with Donovan Dent (New Mexico), Mark Sears (Alabama) Walter Clayton Jr. (Florida) and JT Toppin (Texas Tech).

Via Inside Maryland Sports' Ben Dickson:
"Queen finished the regular season averaging 15.7 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. He shot 52.6% from the field and 75.8% from the free-throw line. The five-star recruit from Baltimore made an impact from his very first college game, dropping 22 points and 20 rebounds against Manhattan on Nov. 4. Queen posted 13 double-doubles during the regular season. He had four 25-point games, including a career-high 29-point showing in a 90-81 home win over Rutgers on Feb. 9. Queen was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week five times. During Big Ten play, he had the second-best defensive rebounding percentage and block rate in the conference. Queen ranks fourth on the Big Ten Conference all-kenpom.com team."

2. Melo Trimble​

It's tough choosing between Trimble and Queen for this spot, but Trimble gets the nod because he had less talent around him and rescued the program from an extended drought.
In 2014-2015, Trimble was the Big Ten freshman of the year and led the Terps to a 28-7 record in their first season in the Big Ten. His scoring ability and poise in clutch moments helped Maryland advance to the NCAA Tournament's Round of 32 after a three-year absence from March Madness. Using his strong driving ability to draw contact and pile up free throws (to the dismay of MSU coach Tom Izzo), he cashed in by setting a school record for free throws made by a freshman. His 16.2 points per game is the second-highest scoring average by a Maryland freshman.
Trimble ws picked First-Team All-Big Ten (by media) and Second-Team (by coaches) and led Maryland to a No. 4 seed in the NCAAs, its highest-seed in a decade plus. freshman year was the start of a standout career that saw him lead Maryland to NCAA tournament appearances in every year of his college career. He also gets extra points for almost singlehandedly turning the program's direction around.

1. Joe Smith​

As good as Queen has been, there's no competition for the top spot. Smith was an immediate superstar in the 1993-1994 season, dominating in the paint against vintage high-level ACC competition to the tune of 19.4 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3.1 blocks, winning ACC Rookie of the Year and First-Team All-ACC honors and setting the stage for an eventual National Player of the Year campaign as a sophomore.

Smith declared for the 1995 NBA Draft and was selected No. 1 overall by the Golden State Warriors. During his rookie season (1995-96), he averaged 15.3 points and 8.7 rebounds, earning NBA All-Rookie First Team honors.
During his 16-year NBA career, Smith played for 12 different teams, including the Warriors, Timberwolves, 76ers, Bulls, Cavaliers, and others. His best statistical season came in 1996-97 with Golden State, where he averaged 18.7 points and 8.5 rebounds.

More Queen accolades​

Queen is the second Terp ever to win a major individual Big Ten player award, following Aaron Wiggins, who took Sixth Man of the Year honors in 2019-20. Queen's first-team all-Big honors marked the second straight season a Terp has earned that distinction after Jahmir Young did it last year. He's the seventh Maryland player to make the First Team since the program joined the conference in 2014-15. Queen dominated all year, winning Big Ten Freshman of the Week five times, the most by any Terp in recent history.​

Queen on the award and Willard on Queen​

"I had a smile on my face," Queen said on Wednesday, adding that winning the award was "of course" on his list of goals heading into the season.
Willard said this week: "I think the physicality early on kind of caught Derik by surprise, in the Big Ten Conference. And then Derik's been really good for you because Derik brings like this youth and joyfulness about the game that sometimes as a senior you could lose. As you get older, the game becomes more of a business and … you know all my stupid drills and all my stupid talks that I give, like it kind of gets old. For Derik, it's been new. And I think his kind of joyfulness has kind of rubbed off on Ju in a very, very good way. But Derik's had the year he's had because he's got to play alongside one of the most consistent big men in the Big Ten, probably in a long time."

MD FB Scoop #4: A New Philosophy....

Maryland Football Scoop: New Philosophy | Spring Game's Fate? | 5-Star Reassurance​

What's the latest on Maryland's new coaching staff and a new philosophy? What's the fate of the spring game? What about two five-stars and an under-the-radar guy looking good? The latest Maryland football scoop below.​


What's the latest on Maryland's new coaching staff and a new philosophy? What about the recruiting trail and an under-the-radar guy looking good? Will the spring game survive? The latest Maryland football scoop below.

It sounds like the vibes are good with Maryland's new staff. Mike Locksley has added mix of hungry first-time assistants, like Louis Swaba and Corey Liguet, and grizzled veterans like new coordinators and Pep Hamilton and Ted Monachino (Monachino hasn't been officially announced yet, but he's the new defensive coordinator). Of course, this time of year, it's unusual for things to be bad. But the chemistry seems good.

"New level of professionalism around the building," a source said. "Both coordinators are very workmanlike and everybody loves Pep. He appears to be around 24 hours a day."

I asked a source about Monachino and his philosophy and was told Maryland will be more aggressive this season on defense. Previous coordinator Brian Williams has more success than his predecessors, but many felt his defense was too conservative and reactive. That seemingly will change.

As discussed last week, Maryland lost a ton on the defensive line and hasn't addressed it much in the portal, with the only addition being Eyan Thomas, a 334-pound defensive tackle from FCS program St. Francis (Pa.), the same school defensive end Donnell Brown transferred from. One new guy who could pitch in there early? Dante Recker.

Recker, an early enrollee, wasn't in the big group of highly touted recruits Locksley added in the 2025 class. A three-star ranked the No. 102 defensive lineman nationally, he picked Maryland over Yale, Temple, Akron, Rice and Buffalo. But the staff liked his upside, and the early reviews have been strong.

"Far more athletic than one might imagine. Very underrated," a source said.

Speaking of the defensive line, it seems the idea is starting to sink in with everyone that five-star Zion Elee, the No. 2 player in the Class of 2026, is firmly committed to Maryland. Check out Brian Dohn's latest update from today.

Maryland's other top local five-star target, Immanuel Iheanacho, was back on campus last weekend for the Northwestern basketball game. I wouldn't categorize him as a lock, but I will be surprised if he commits elsewhere.

I've been asked a lot whether Maryland will hold a spring game this year. There's a growing trend of coaches canceling theirs to keep poachers from window shopping their rosters. Given Mike Locksley's focus on keeping things under wraps, it seemed possible he could join that group. But a university source said on Friday that Maryland still plans to hold the game, though no date or details have been announced yet.

MD BB: 7 ft. recruit studies D. Queen....

Maryland basketball hitting a familiar recruiting spot for a 7-footer who studies Derik Queen​

The latest from the Maryland basketball recruiting trail.​


Maryland basketball has prioritized nearby Mt. Zion Prep on its recruiting agenda lately and it's paid off. Last year, Kevin Willard signed Mt. Zion standout Malachi Palmer, a promising prospect serving an apprenticeship role as a freshman. Their lone Class of 2026 commitment, Chris Jeffrey, just finished a dream senior season at the Lanham private school. And there's another one in the pipeline.

Favor Ibe, a 7-footer in the Class of 2026, has risen on Maryland's Wishlist this season. They've seen a lot of him because the Jeffrey connection and they like what they've seen.

"They've been pretty clear that they want for me to be a part of their 26-27 rosters. So, it's cool," said Ibe, the No. 12 center and No. 106 prospect in 247Sports' Class of 2026 rankings.

Mt. Zion Prep's season ended Tuesday with a loss to Vermont Academy in the Sweet 16 of the. Jeffrey was te Elite P. They went 26-5, powered by Jeffrey's 25.8 points, 5.2 assists and four rebounds per game. won player of the year and tournament MVP honors from the .

"We lost at the national championship today. But overall, this season went very well because we won our regular season championship," Ibe said. "I made a championship first team. I don't remember what I averaged, but I made the first team for the championship."

The 7-1, 235-pound Ibe is also being recruited by Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Florida State, Georgetown, USC, Georgia and Louisville.

"Louisville because my brother [reserve center Frank Anselem-Ibe] plays for Louisville," Ibe said.

"I like Maryland and they're recruiting me. Sometimes, I just go to watch Derik Queen. And sometimes I go because Christian's committed. And sometimes because it would be a nice place to go," Ibe said.

His self-scouting report?

"I block shots. I catch a lot of lobs. I have a good percentage from the free throw line, good presence," he said.

He's being recruited by assistant coach Kevin Norris.

"He's cool. His song goes to my school. So yeah, he's been there a couple times. He's got a good energy. He's got good spirit."

Ibe moved here from Nigeria in December 2023.

"It's been very good. I had to adjust some kind of stuff, like the weather, the food, the people, but so far, it's been a good learning experience," he said. "It's just different from back home. Here it's more fast food but I'm just getting used t it."

Ibe been a frequent visitor this season at Xfinity Center, going to games against Rutgers, Michigan State, Iowa and Ohio State. He studies Queen closely.

"Yeah, a lot of it. Lot of it, like his touches, his reads, he's patient around the basket," he said. "You know, his decision-making skills. Basically, I just try to take everything I can."

Queen named B1G Freshman of the Year, four Terps honored by Big Ten

COLLEGE PARK, MD -- After finishing the regular season 24-7 and earning the No. 2 seed in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament, No. 11 Maryland had four players honored on postseason league teams headlined by Derik Queen being named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year.

Queen was also named to the All-Big Ten First Team by the coaches, the All-Big Ten Second Team by the media, and was a unanimous selection to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team. He is the first Terp since Melo Trimble in 2014-15 to earn All-Big Ten First Team honors.

Ja'Kobi Gillespie was an All-Big Ten Third Team selection by both the coaches and media, while Julian Reese earned honorable mention accolades from both groups as well. Selton Miguel was chosen as the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award honoree for Maryland.

Queen leads the Terps, averaging 15.7 points per game. Queen was second on the team in rebounds at 9.2, which is also the third-best mark in the Big Ten. Queen scored a career-high 29 points against Rutgers on Feb. 9, and has finished with 20 or more points in 10 games this season. Queen finished the regular season with 488 points, which is the third-most points scored by a freshman in program history. Queen finished with double-figure rebounds in 15 games, and is second on the team with 13 double-doubles - the most by any freshman nationally. The Baltimore native is one of only two Division I players ranking in the top two on his team in points, total rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. He is on pace to be the second Maryland player this century to be top two in each category in a single season, with the other being Aaron Wiggins during the 2020-21 season.

Queen becomes the second Terp to earn a major player award from the Big Ten joining Wiggins who was the 2019-20 Sixth Man of the Year. He is the program's third-ever Rookie/Freshman of the Year joining the elite company of Buck Williams (1978-79) and Joe Smith (1993-94). Queen, who was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week five times this season, is the second straight Terp to earn First Team honors alongside Jahmir Young who did so last year. Overall, he is the seventh player since 2014-15 to earn All-Big Ten First Team recognition.

Gillespie finished second on the team in points during the regular season, averaging 14.9 points per game. He has finished in double figures in all but six games this season, and scored a season-high 27 against UCLA on Jan. 10. Gillespie is one of the top point guards in the Ben Ten with 4.7 assists per game - the sixth-best mark in the conference. Gillespie had a penchant for taking the ball away from opponents with his 1.9 steals per game mark tied for the third-most in the Big Ten. He also leads the conference in three-pointers made (76) which also ranks as the fifth-most for a single season in Maryland history.

Reese made his final season in College Park a special one. The senior forward finished with 13.2 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. His 9.3 rebounding mark ranks as the second-best in the conference, while his 14 double-doubles is the league's best mark and tied for the 12th-most in the country. The Baltimore native was one of the top shot blockers in the Big Ten, ranking third in blocks with 49 and blocks per game at 1.6. Over his four years, the forward has over 1,400 points (1,420) and 900 rebounds (976) in his career at Maryland. He is one of just five players in program history that has reached those career thresholds. He currently ranks third all-time in career rebounds and is on pace to become just the second player in program history to go over 1,000. That would put him alongside the legendary Len Elmore for one of the most prominent statistical records in Maryland basketball history.

This marked the third consecutive season for Reese to be a member of the All-Big Ten Honorable Mention Team. Reese joins Melo Trimble and Anthony Cowan, Jr., as the only Terps in the Big Ten era to earn an all-conference honor three times during a career. Overall, he is the 16th player in program history to earn all-conference honors three times.

Miguel finished his lone regular season at Maryland averaging 12.0 points per game. He scored a season-high 24 points on two occasions (Dec. 17vs. Saint Francis & Dec. 21 vs. Syracuse), and scored in double figures in 23 games this season. The Luanda, Angola native led the team with a 42.7 three-point field goal percentage, tied for the 11th-best mark in the conference. Miguel had multiple games where he was effective from behind the arc, knocking down three or more shots from behind the arc in 13 games. Miguel led the Terps in double-figure scoring games all season and has 1,562 points during his career.
