There was a lot of change to the identity of Maryland Basketball this offseason. The new talent now has to embrace their roles, and the returning talent now has to adjust to the new faces. Jake Layman may have to do the most adjustment to his game, which the numbers say he is ready to do.
The dust has finally settled in what could turn out to be one of the most important offseasons in Maryland basketball history. The pieces have fallen into place, and these pieces include the return of potential NBA prospects Melo Trimble and Jake Layman, the commitment of 5-star recruit Diamond Stone, Duke transfer Rasheed Sulaimon, and the eligibility of the seemingly forgotten Robert Carter.
