Maryland's men's basketball team is facing a major shakeup after head coach Kevin Willard left for Villanova, leaving the program in turmoil. Star players Ja'Kobi Gillespie and Rodney Rice entered the transfer portal, following the departures of other key starters due to graduation or NBA draft aspirations. The team, which boasted five starters averaging at least 12 points per game, is now searching for a new coach, with Texas A&M's Buzz Williams a potential candidate. Maryland's athletic department is committed to securing a top coach and significant resources are available for the right candidate.
