On the open hoops assistant coaching position

It seems like Mike Jones is the clear frontrunner for the open spot on Willard's bench. I was a bit skeptical at first with him being the associate head coach at VT and after also hearing his family really likes it in Blacksburg. But he appears more than open to a return back home and there has also been some chatter that Cooley could have also been looking to make some moves with his current staff in order to make a run at Jones, as well. But again, I think he is the clear frontrunner at the moment.

What will be interesting is what happens if Billmeier ends up leaving, also. Which again, looks like a very real possibility. As I mentioned in another thread, I think you have to make a call to Mike Pegues, as like Billmeier he is known as an excellent big man coach. I also think Dwayne Anderson and maybe Kenny Johnson could still be in play, also. One other name that was mentioned to me that could also make a lot of sense is current South Kent head coach Raphael Chillious. He has deep, deep recruiting ties to this area, has been an assistant at Washington, Villanova and UConn and recruited guys like Isaiah Thomas, Markelle Fultz, Terrence Ross, Dejounte Murray and a bunch more. Before his return to South Kent, he was the associate head coach at ECU. He coached former Terp target and five-star PG Elmarko Jackson this past season. Like Jones, he also has deep ties to Nike. One other note, he will be one of the coaches for the US All-Stars at the Capital Classic.

Say What?

UNC played Syracuse in Olney? Gee, how does that help our recruiting?

WTF


Latest on Hunter Dickinson...

I've confirmed that Dickinson will visit Maryland this upcoming weekend. I wanted to post something yesterday, but I actually heard from several sources throughout the afternoon and was getting some conflicting info which is why I didn't post anything. There were rumors going around that he secretly visited Maryland a couple of days ago, but I was finally able to track down that did not happen. Was also getting different orders in which he'd visit the local schools. But it looks like he will first officially visit Georgetown on Saturday, followed by a visit to Maryland on Sunday.

Some seem to hope, if not really believe, there is a real chance he commits to Maryland this weekend. That could be a possibility, but I believe it is still likely he will follow through with other visits after this weekend. Kansas, as I mentioned the other day, appears to remain a major player. Villanova, Syracuse and possibly Duke are also lurking. But based on the conversations I've had, it feels like Maryland and maybe Kansas are the two schools that have the most going for them at this time.

Hunter Dickinson and Syracuse transfer Jesse Edwards…

Some might have noticed, Syracuse big man transfer Jesse Edwards announced a final three if WVU, Kansas and Gonzaga yesterday.

Based on what I’ve been told, it sounds like Edwards is Huggy Bear’s to lose. Would not be surprised if he commits to WVU in the next few days. If he does not, he is likely waiting to see what happens with Dickinson and Maryland/Kansas. Self offered Edwards as a backup option to Dickinson. I’m told Hunter will officially visit Kansas next Thursday through Sunday (assuming he does not commit to Maryland before then).

As far as NIL goes, based on multiple conversations, it appears he is looking for somewhere in the neighborhood of between 500k-1 million. I’m also told both Maryland and Kansas are comfortable with those numbers. To be clear, I’m not privy to any actual negotiations and these numbers are estimates, but I believe them to be pretty close to what he will get.

But I think the fact that Kansas offered Edwards says they are at least a little worried about Maryland and I know there are other coaches who think Maryland could be the team to beat.

Potential Womens BB Transfer In (Just a Good Fit)

Maria Gakdeng - from Lanham, Md., transferring out of Boston College. 6'3" center/forward - about 12 points a game and about 6 rebounds a game. The kind of "transfer in" that makes sense should she want to get closer to home. By the way, for those who are critical of our coaches for losing players (football and basketball) you need only to review the hundreds of players that are getting out of town for whatever reason on virtually every school. I think Arizona women have 11 transferring out. We are scheduled to lose three from this year. In any event, recruiting and convincing transfers to join is no less important that bringing on board high schoolers. Just a brand-new world out there. Side bar (nothing to do with the above). Foul calling in these last two- or three-women's games has been abysmal. Something needs to be rectified as they are changing the outcome of important games based on tick tack fouls. Ugh!

Football visitor yesterday...

Maryland hosted 2025 Spalding QB Malik Washington yesterday. I know I've mentioned this a million times, but I love this kid's physical makeup as well as his upside and he becomes more and more critical with it looking like Maryland is possibly going to miss out on Mike Van Buren in 2024. Need to pull out every stop to land this kid.

2023 Addition?

"Grimes, a late addition to the 2023 class, announced his plans to stay home and play for the Terps Wednesday afternoon. The Upper Marlboro native is a two-time Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association All-State selection and was named the 2A Defensive Player of the Year this past season."

On Donta Scott

Should have a final verdict on Scott here in the very near future. It does seem like there is now a possibility of him coming back. If that happens, I'm still expecting a couple more spots to open up for transfers. Obviously, with Jones in the fold, Dickinson is the top target. After that, I would expect them to either target a dead eye shooter or perhaps even just go after the top available player regardless of need. But getting another experienced double-digit scorer back would certainly raise the profile of next year's team even further.

Men’s basketball to play in Asheville Championship tournament

COLLEGE PARK, MD – The field for the Asheville Championship has been announced this morning with the early season MTE featuring Maryland, Clemson, Davidson and UAB on Nov. 10-12 at the Harrah’s Cherokee Center-Asheville in North Carolina.

Game times and television assignments will be announced at a later date. Tickets for the general public will go on sale starting April 17, 2023 and can be purchased at ashevillechampionship.com.
This will mark the third year for the early season tournament which first started in 2021. Minnesota claimed the first title, while Louisiana won last season. The Asheville Championship was created by KemperLesnik which also operates the Maui Jim Maui Invitational and manages the event portion of the McDonald’s All-American Basketball Games.

Clemson is coming off a 23-11 campaign with a 14-6 mark in ACC play. The Tigers fell in the ACC Championship Semifinals before then having their season conclude in the first round of the NIT.

Davidson (16-16, 8-10 A-10) fell in the Atlantic 10 Championship Quarterfinals last season – a rare down season for a program which has reached five NCAA Tournaments since 2012 along with four NIT berths.

UAB posted a 29-10 record in 2022-23 culminating with a run to the NIT Championship game. The 29 wins were a program record, while reaching the NIT title game also marked a first for the program.

The Terps won the 2022 Hall of Fame Tip-Off Championship at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut last season as part of its 22-13 campaign. Maryland defeated Saint Louis and Miami at the event as part of its 8-0 start to the season. It marked the Terps’ 33rd regular-season tournament championship and the first since winning the 2019 Orlando Invitational title.

North Carolina legend and Asheville native Coach Roy Williams is the official ambassador of the Asheville Championship. Williams is dedicated to helping grow and expand the event to become a premier early-season championship featuring top basketball programs from across the country. Coach Dave Odom will once again serve as the official Chair of the Asheville Championship. The former National Coach of the Year and three-time Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year at Wake Forest has overseen tournament relations for the Asheville Championship since its inception, and the Maui Jim Maui Invitational since 2009.
