Maryland men’s basketball appears to have found its point guard for next season. Ja’Kobi Gillespie, who played two seasons at Belmont, announced Wednesday on social media that he will transfer to Maryland.
Gillespie has two years of eligibility remaining and averaged 17.2 points, 4.2 assists and 3.8 rebounds this season. He was ranked by 247Sports as the No. 14 player available in the transfer portal at the time of his commitment, making him the fourth-best available point guard. Gillespie visited College Park last weekend, just over a week after he announced his plans to enter the transfer portal on March 15.
