Offseason talk page! The previous one is here.

Please comment with any Portal news! Three players have gone. Will another? Could Willard still add a Big? My faves out there are Olivier Nkamhoua from Tennessee (shooting) and Tyrese Samuel from Seton Hall (relationship and local). Unless we can really get Hunter Dickinson. Could that actually be possible? Otherwise, who else do you like?

Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if nobody else arrives, and this is the group Maryland plays with in 2023-24. Willard seems so focused on "the student-athlete experience"; and don't they have a trip to Europe planned for the team this summer? KW probably wants them all to get the chance to go. And honestly it's hard to criticize him for that – even if it winds up spelling the difference between this Terps squad becoming an Elite Eight team or not. I'm as selfish a fan as the next guy, and I'm hungry for some long-missing bragging rights. But this group has had a rough four years.

For reference, here's a scholly chart based on this past season:

In other news, Willard has filled the last assistant coach spot! Just like in the above table, Red is leaving, Green is staying, and Blue is arriving. Technically Manning has been here for years; but he is sort of "arriving" into a new role?

Pretty soon, recruiting news is gonna heat up. Summer tournaments will start. Is Queen gonna sign??? Who else??

Also the Coaching Carousel retains some interest. Below are some of the big or interesting moves of the offseason so far, beyond just the Maryland assistantships:

Plus whatever else there is to talk about.

We'll try to keep a "current" fanpost active for about 3 weeks, or until the number of comments gets too big to manage, or the fanpost starts to get buried down the page. And then start a new one.

Let's tawk!
