Do the Terps have any interest in Ernest Willor from Concordia High School in Towson.

COLLEGE PARK, MD – The Maryland men’s basketball program has announced that it will embark on a 10-day training tour in Italy from July 31-August 10. The trip will span four cities and will feature three exhibition games for the Terps.

Maryland will visit Rome, Florence, Venice, and Lake Como during the tour.

“These trips provide a tremendous opportunity for our student-athletes,” said head coach Kevin Willard. “To be able to see firsthand some of the most historical landmarks in the world and areas steeped in such history is a wonderful experience for them. From a basketball perspective, these trips allow us to play against other competition which will help us as we prepare for the upcoming season.”

During the trip, Maryland will tour several historic sites such as the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome; St. Mark’s Square and Grand Canal gondola rides in Venice; and boat tours of Lake Como and Lake Maggiore along with visiting the islands of Bellagio and Borromeo in Lake Como.

Highlights throughout the trip along with game recaps will be provided through www.UMTerps.com and on social media (@terrapinhoops).

Basketball ranking at any point this coming season. Highest ranking the team reached last year was 13 so will use that as the barometer. So what is your over/under on their ranking of 13 at any point this coming season? Interesting side note, the last 4 NCAA men’s basketball champions spent 0 weeks as #1 in the AP Top 25 poll…
-Virginia
-Baylor
-Kansas
-UConn
The highest preseason rankings I’ve seen are #21 by both SI and Fox while ESPN snd CBS did not have in top 25. Also, Pitino recruiting like a madman at SJU, keeps adding to roster, flipping guys left and right, current roster at like 16 so even though he is over max, as many here suggested just keep recruiting, don’t worry about a numbers problem, an attitude some here wanted after Dickinson miss in effort to land a center, he’s now turning away a player he had a commitment from Iona as transfer. I say Terps will reach higher (over) than 13 this season if 3-point shooting is better and we win more than 2 road games.
2022-23 record:
16-1 home
2-9 road
4-3 neutral

With local four-star OL Ryan Howerton set to announce his commitment on Saturday, I take a look at three potential commits later this month after a flurry of commits in June and the first couple of days this month.

STORY

National recruiting analyst Clint Cosgrove takes a look at a potential sleeper commit from each school in the Big Ten East. Like the pick for Maryland and you'll also see a former Terps (lax) recruit mentioned, as well.

STORY

I was just gifted an awesome UA 2023 Maryland Baseball jersey (red)... but it has no number, name, or B1G logo on it. Anyone know how I might get a number and lettering kit for it?

The Terps have landed a commitment from four-star safety Brandon Jacob. He's the Terps' third four-star commit for the month of July and fourth overall now. More at the link below.

STORY

It is decision day for Fla. four-star safety Brandon Jacob, who will be announcing later this evening (7 p.m. to be exact) at his high school.

As a refresher, he took official visits to UCF, Texas A&M and Maryland. A&M seems to be focused on several other safety targets, leaving this a battle between the Terps and hometown Knights. I still feel very good about the Terps chances here in the hours leading up to his announcement.

If he is to chose Maryland, it will be the Terps' third straight four-star commit and would mean four of the last six commits have been four-stars with a fifth a high three-star with offers from Alabama, Miami, Notre Dame and more.

This is probably the hottest Locks and the Terps have been on the recruiting trail since signing days in 2022 and 2021 when they landed guys like Jaishawn Barham, Octavian Smith and Ramon Brown a couple of years ago and the Fla. trio of Brandon Jennings, Terrence Lewis and Darrell Jackson in 2021. That should be a good sign, though, if you are a Terps fan. History says that Locks will likely add a few big-time names to this class at the deadline. So to possibly have four four-stars already in the fold in July is huge.

Top 50 prospect Jaeden Mustaf will officially visit Maryland the first weekend of September. The Terps weren't originally in his top 5, but are squarely in contention now due to his relationship with his former coach at DeMatha, Mike Jones. He's officially visited Florida State and taken multiple unofficial visits to NC State. Miami and Virginia Tech also in the mix. Of course, his dad is former Terp standout Jerrod Mustaf, who also played in the NBA.

Terps are involved with a number of big fish in the current cycle, now just need to land a couple of commitments.

He's expected to make a decision sometime in late Sept., Oct.

Today's recruiting rumor mill from the national team has a couple of Maryland mentions. As far as the first one (Paylor) goes, the Terps are on the outside looking in. But as for local Rivals100 OG Jordan Seaton, who's now at IMG, the Terps are still involved as they look to remain in the mix right up until he signs. They obviously have an uphill battle as they take on blue bloods such as Alabama, but they are hoping the hometown angle can work in their favor. Offensive line has been a main focus for the staff and will remain so until signing day.

There may be a few here who don't really care for Angel after she bolted to LSU, but Sports Illustrated Swim wear loves her. She didn't look to shabby while winning a "Best" award on the Espy's last night either. Looks like she could end up in front of the camera's during and after her playing days are over.

Maryland isn't being discussed as much as it should here, I'm told.

As expected, local four-star OT Ryan Howerton is a Terp! He probably helped his stock as much as any local this summer, earning OL MVP honors at both the Under Armour and Rivals camp stops. Huge, huge addition to the class, both figuratively and literally at a position where the Terps really needed to restock.

STORY

He also breaks down his commitment in detail HERE.

Kevin Willard continued to follow Derik Queen's every move this past weekend in Las Vegas as Team Thrill participated in the SportsRadar Tournament. Willard and Mike Jones were spotted watching Thrill, while another local AAU program, New World, which Jones also has some connections with, also took part. Finally, Canada Elite and top 2025 target Efeosa Oliogu were also in the tournament.

Queen's dominant run continued this past weekend, as he averaged 22 points and 11 boards per game.

Make no mistake, Willard has made it as clear as day that Queen is Maryland's No. 1 priority for 2024. And it doesn't hurt that Chance Mallory is also on the team.

Has to be well below expectations: 10-11 overall, 4-6 in conference, unlikely to be headed to the dance. Not a lot of exposure for 10-11 teams

The Terps have made the top 8 for 2024 five-star PG Boogie Fland out of Stepinac in NY.

While a tad bit of a surprise, Willard has a history of doing well with NYC area five-star PGs, such as Isaiah Whitehead and Kadary Richmond. The interest seems pretty genuine, as the Terps are expected to get him on campus for a visit this fall. That said, the competition will be fierce with Kentucky, UConn and St. John's all heavily involved.

The Hunter Dickinson saga is finally set to come to a close, as the Michigan big man announced on Twitter last night that the decision is in and will come today.

As for where he is headed, as of last night, it still appeared none of the schools had been told it was them.

As of right now, it seems like this is a three-team race between Maryland, Kansas and Villanova. From the start I was hearing Kentucky would have a hard time and it seems that is still the case.

As for Maryland, again, they check off basically every box and have continued to have a quiet confidence throughout. That said, nothing will surprise me at this point as things have been kept very quiet throughout.

I do have my own thoughts on how this all went down based on piecing some stuff together with what I’ve heard from various sources but at this point, I’ll save it for after he announces.

Something doesn't smell right here.

Independent Investigation clears Fitzgerald so racism allegations drop earlier today and now he's gone.

Congrats to Ralph Friedgen on his induction into the DC Sports HOF over the weekend. He resurrected Maryland football and gave Terp fans some of the most exciting seasons in program history. Truly deserving. Release on his induction below:

WASHINGTON DC - Former Maryland head football coach Ralph Friedgen was inducted into the Washington DC Sports Hall of Fame on Sunday. The annual induction ceremony was held at Nationals Park prior to the Nationals-Rangers game. The Class of 2023 includes five new members and one Team of Distinction.

Other members of the Class of 2023 include Jen Adams, Lew Luce, Ken Niumatalolo and Marty West. The Team of Distinction was the 1977-78 Washington Bullets and Phil Chenier was on hand to accept the plaque on behalf of the championship team.

Friedgen, who was also recently named to the 2024 ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame, restored the Maryland football program to national relevance during his decade tenure as the head coach of the Terrapins from 2001-10.

Friedgen, who ranks third all-time at Maryland with 75 wins, led the Terps to seven bowl games, including a pair of New Year's Day appearances during his tenure. Under Friedgen's guidance, the Terps won a school-record five bowl games.

A Maryland lifer who suited up as an offensive guard for the Terrapins from 1966-69, Friedgen came back to his alma mater as an assistant coach under Bobby Ross from 1982-86. He took over as the Terps head man in 2001, fostering an immediate turnaround.

The consensus national coach of the year in 2001, Friedgen led Maryland to its first ACC title in 16 years in his first year as head coach. Maryland won its first seven games and earned the league's automatic berth in the Bowl Championship Series' FedEx Orange Bowl. By winning the ACC title that season, Friedgen became the first coach in league history to win the championship in his first year as a head coach.

Following that historic 2001 season, Friedgen led Maryland to six more bowl appearances, 12 wins over top-25 teams and the Terps spent 18 weeks in the AP Top-25 during his tenure. Friedgen ranks fifth all-time in ACC history in bowl victories (five), 15th all-time in wins (75), tied for 14th in ACC victories (43) and stands 12th in games coached (125).

Friedgen recruited and coached some of the largest names etched in Maryland lure, including E.J. Henderson, D'Qwell Jackson, Shawne Merriman, Vernon Davis and Torrey Smith. Eighty players earned All-ACC honors under Friedgen's direction, 37 were named All-Americans and seven were named ACC Players of the Year.

Twenty-seven of Friedgen's players at Maryland were drafted in the NFL with many, such as Henderson, Jackson, Merriman, Davis, Smith, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Nick Novak, Adam Podlesh and Josh Wilson having sustained professional careers.
