Figure I'll start a running thread of potential transfer portal prospects as Maryland is expected to be active in this market with several scholarships available.
First name I heard a couple of days ago is Utah Valley big man Fardaws Aimaq. The 6-foot-11 Pacific Northwest Canada native averaged 18.9 points and 13.6 rebounds per game this season. He had 24 points, 22 boards with 3 blocks and 5 steals earlier this season versus BYU and he had a 15 point, 15 board double-double this season versus Washington. He was WAC Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year LAST season after averaging 15 board per game. His coach at Utah Valley is former Stanford and NBA big man Mark 'Mad Dog' Madsen. He spent a prep year at Bridgeton Academy in Maine and began his college career at Mercer. He's 23 years old, so lots of experience. Among the schools that have reached out are Maryland, Seton Hall, Arizona, Alabama, Gonzaga, Kentucky, Texas, Texas Tech, West Virginia and more. He'll also test the NBA waters again this offseason.
Maryland has also reached out to Penn State point guard Sam Sessoms. The Philly native began his college career at Binghamton before transferring to PSU where he played the past two seasons. He averaged 11.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists this past season as the first guard off the bench. He scored in double figures in 9 of their last 13 games, including 17 points at Maryland and 18 points in an upset win over Ohio State in the B1G tourney.
Will keep this thread running and pin it up top as more names enter the portal and Maryland reaches out.
