This offseason’s approach to the Maryland basketball team is slightly different than last year’s.
Last year, the the Terps landed five-star, super-recruit Diamond Stone, retained Melo Trimble for another season and welcome grad-transfer Rasheed Sulaimon from Duke. They added the talents of transfer Robert Carter after a season of watching from the bench. The expectations were lofty, to say the least.
Now that the Terps have lost four starters to either graduation, the NBA or overseas basketball, the expectations have certainly been tamped down. However, this Maryland team has a fresh opportunity to actually exceed preseason predictions, for a change.
