Watching Queen last season, it was pretty obvious his passing was too good for college players. This is going to become the norm for him.
I really don't miss any Maryland basketball games, but a midnight tip is just not in the cards.
I, a full grown adult, cannot open the door to the possibility that it'll be 2:15 am and I have to try to go to sleep after a disappointing loss to UNLV.
Popping on here again to just say:
Can we never hear from this guy again? Just go away. Stop running to Seth Davis or whoever. You are at Villanova, dude. If I was a Nova fan I would pretty looking at everything he's done since late March with a sense of dread.
Kevin Willard fires back on a rumor that he had a handshake deal in place with Villanova:
“Total bulls***, and whoever said that has no f****** idea what they’re talking about. That can be my quote.”

With Buzz's first Maryland roster seemingly complete, I think it's safe to call this among the most fascinating off-seasons in the program's history.
Obviously, not all of these guys will turn out to be great or even good, but you can't play more than 8-10 guys for any real minutes. Payne/Rice/Watts/Washington/Saunders/Metcalf seem like locks for the rotation. Who knows who will shake out for the rest.
Buzz got a non-local McDonald’s All American on the same day Nova landed a developmental big. Good stuff.
Basically every player Maryland has added who played last season (besides Coit) averaged right around 10 points per game. Genuinely fascinated to see how this goes.
You’d think with all this “returning production” they’ll be pretty high in the predictive metrics heading into next season.
Okay, so I should clarify:
My point is based on depth and projection.
Depth - I think there's a good chance they are better 1-10 than last years team.
Projection - Less of a chance, but still possible, we get the a leap from someone like Payne to become an All-League guy.
It's becoming increasingly possible that Maryland has a better roster next season than they had this past one, with the enormous caveat that no one is Derik Queen.
Listen, Buzz has yet to coach to a game for the Terps yet, but I'm willing to put down my flag right now:
He is the first Big Time Basketball Coach this program has had since May of 2011.
