The spring AAU season got underway this past weekend and while the staff was spread out across the country, Willard spent much of his time at the first Under Armour stop in Arizona, specifically to check up on Maryland's top target, Derik Queen. While scouting Queen, however, Willard got to see his Team Thrill teammate, 2025 Va. PG Chance Mallory up close and in person. In one of the games he scouted, Mallory went off for 27 points and 7 boards...and he's only 5-foot-10. Heard he looked good throughout the weekend, and while Maryland is his first high major offer, others are sure to follow rather quickly.
Mallory attends St. Anne's Belfield (STAB) in Charlottesville, where he plays with UVA assistant coach Jason Williford's son, who is also a big-time prospect. If Maryland goes all out for him throughout his recruitment, this could be an old school Maryland-UVA recruiting battle, as they will be squarely in the mix, should they decide to offer.
