Jahmir Young named to Reese's NABC Division I All-Star Game

COLLEGE PARK, MD - After a standout season for the Terps, Maryland's Jahmir Young has been named to the Reese's NABC Division I All-Star game which will be held this Friday, April 5 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

The game will begin at 5:30 PM ET following the open practices of the Final Four teams and will be FREE to the public. The Reese's NABC All-Star Game features top senior student-athletes from across the nation.

Young finished the season garnering several postseason honors: NABC All-District 7 First Team, All-Big Ten First Team, Associated Press All-Big Ten Second Team. He was also selected to the All-Big Ten Second Team by the coaches and named as Maryland's Sportsmanship Award honoree.

The Upper Marlboro, MD, native finished the 2023-24 season averaging 20.4 points per game which ranks third in the Big Ten and 29th nationally. His 2,626 career points are second-most among all active NCAA players. He posted a career-best 652 points this year which ranks 12th all-time for a single-season at Maryland. He is just the fifth player in Maryland history to reach 1,000 points in two seasons and the third fastest to do so needing just 57 games.

His 20.4 points per game this year is tied for 11th in a single-season for program history, while his 18.0 point per game average over two years is fifth-best all-time at Maryland for a career. After having posted 1,421 points at Charlotte, he became just the sixth player since 2006 to score 1,000 points at two different institutions. He concluded his Maryland career with 1,205 points which ranks 37th all-time in program history. He also tied Eric Hayes for the program record for free throw percentage (.870) after converting 341-of-392 attempts. His 198 made free throws this year rank fifth all-time for a single-season, while his .900 free throw percentage was third. He also finished his career ranked eighth all-time for minutes average at 33.2 per game.

Young posted 18 20-point games this year along with three 30-point efforts. His career-high 37 points in the win at UCLA and his 36 points at Northwestern are the top two individual regular-season scoring performances in the league this year.

He earned All-Big Ten Second Team honors in 2023 where he was also a two-time All-District selection earning NABC and USBWA honors.

OT: Nationals

Well, well, well the O's finally have a team to cheer about. I'm good with rooting for the O's in the AL and the Nat's in the NL. With the new owners, i can see the O's being very competitive with their stocked farm system for years to come. On the other hand, the Triple AAA Nat's had a nice win today. Starting at 3B was a rookie from FREDCO and Urbana HS. First hit and stolen base not to mention played some real good defense in his first MLB game. On a side note, I'm a Nat's fan first having gone to the last Senators game ever. My dad and grandad used to attend old Senators games at old Griffith Stadium. I think the Nat's are still 2-3 years away from contending. Let's hope the Lerner's make all the right moves.

Andy Enfield....

Pretty crazy, but Enfield literally used Maryland to leverage a contract extension just a couple of years ago and now he's job hopped to SMU because he was likely being forced out at USC with their impending move to the Big Ten. He took USC to the Elite 8 just 4 years ago and basically made 4 straight tourneys (3 but would have been 4 if not for COVID year) before this year's losing record.

Sounds like this could set off a chain reaction of moves as there is a lot of chatter that Musselman could be the next coach of the Trojans.

Maryland has reached out to….

Maryland has reached out to 6-foot-7 sharp-shooting Princeton wing Zach Martini, per a source. Has been hearing from mostly A10 schools but visited Rutgers yesterday. Sounds like the Rutgers visit went pretty well, but if he doesn’t commit soon , a Terps offer and visit could come quickly.

Averaged 8.4 points and 3.3 boards per game while going 60-156 (38.5%) from beyond the arc this season.
