Maryland men’s basketball announced the hiring of Ricky Harris as its new new Director of Player Personnel Tuesday.
He replaces Tevon Saddler, who left Maryland in April to become the head coach at Nicholls State.
Harris spent the past two seasons as the director of basketball operations at his alma mater, UMass. Before joining that staff, he played 129 games for the Minutemen. He then played 11 seasons overseas.
Harris grew up in Baltimore, where he attended Calvert Hall College High School. He’s the school’s third all-time leading scorer, the first being Terps legend Juan Dixon.
