Willie's a big Buzz fan so he should be excited about this news, especially with Maryland coming to Fiserv in the fall. 

He waits until the local Buzz's bunch start to approach the age of needing tuition assistance and bolts

Has MU ever hosted an ex-coach?

I know we played Kevin O'Neill in a pre-season tournament awhile back.  Can't think of one coming to Milwaukee though.

Someone must have messed with happy. Again.

The ol' Scotts Tots approach.

A real Scott's Tots situation.

He better kiss the rings in the DMV area or they'll lose 501(c)(3) status

It feels like this is a pretty nice upgrade for MD.

Quote from: The Sultan on April 01, 2025, 11:18:18 AMHe definitely could have. Would we have retained Tyshawn Taylor? Would Buzz have still been an assistant and landed Jimmy Butler?

I think Taylor would have left as he blew up as a senior and likely got some money from Bill Self, but we would have retained Nick Williams who had a pretty solid career and IU and Ole Miss.

Good question on Butler. My guess is Buzz was already on him and I don't remember what other schools he had offers from.

Texas AM fans seem to be happy with the news

Thought he did a pretty good job there but fans always seem to think the next guy will do better.

He does tend to where out his welcome.........Maryland seems like an odd fit for a good old boy from Texas.

Looks like Buzz coming to Fiserv this year

I thought Jimmy had interest from UK. That was from Billy Gillespie.

Who does A&M go after? Early names I've seen are Beard and Underwood.

Willard had stated that Maryland did not have the appropriate resources, which I do not understand.  Maryland has some big boosters, plays in a huge, nice arena, their new $50 million basketball players center opens in the fall and they have use of the $150 million Under Armour football center, which Under Armour owner and Terp alumni Kevin Plank built.

Terps had to move quick with new coach due to the fact Maryland had no AD, no coach, no players and now no recruits.

Starters
Julian Reece, senior gone
Selton Melton, senior gone
Derrick Queen, to NBA
Jakobi Gillespie, to portal
Rodney Rice, to portal

Others
Jordan Geronimo, senior gone
Dashawn Harris Smith, to portal
Tafara Gape, to portal
Jay Young, to portal

Recruit
Chris Jeffrey, a top 70 underrated recruit, gone.  Only recruit.

Good luck to Buzz and his complete overall required. 

Kinda think that unless you hire from within, the entire roster is going to portal. I mean, I would as a player. They may end up back there, but it doesn't hurt to explore your options.

Buzz should try to sign notable currently portalling Tre Norman

He's probably itching to convince the money heads over in college park to drop a bag for Parham.

That would really make for a fun trip to FiServ

So should we drop the bag to keep our own players, or drop the bag to get portal players?

How about players recognize they're getting a free education and humble themselves before the lord
