With Indiana transfer Jordan Geronimo, Maryland has more athleticism

When Maryland Coach Kevin Willard attended Big Ten men’s basketball media day last year, he spoke briefly with Michigan State’s Tom Izzo about what to expect in his first season with the Terrapins. The Spartans icon told Willard it would take him at least one season to get acclimated, particularly with the physical demands required to win at the highest levels in the conference.

By the time the Terps played their final game, a 73-51 loss to top-seeded Alabama in the NCAA tournament’s round of 32, Willard had come to embrace Izzo’s wisdom, conceding his roster needed a more athletically rugged identity even with frontcourt stalwarts Julian Reese and Donta Scott back in the fold for 2023
