Kansas basketball alumni Danny Manning is heading to Maryland after serving as head coach for 6 seasons at Wake Forrest.

Manning had worked at Kansas as an assistant from 2006-2012 when he departed for the top job at Tulsa. Since then, he’s held a head coaching record of 116-140.

There had been some speculation of whether or not Manning would return to Kansas after Jerrance Howard’s departure earlier this year, however, it seems he’ll be joining Mark Turgeon‘s staff with the Terrapins.
