“We have a shot at a wild card right now. But it is not a probability that we're going to win a wild card.” -2022 Trade Deadline
"It's liftoff from here" - after selling on 2022
"We're on a slight upward arc" - Winter Meetings 2022
"I think it's really hard to sit there and chart a course and say, 'We're likely to win the division.'" - Winter Meetings 2022

That he’s had the most non-conference wins of any coach against Big Ten teams since 2014 definitely shouldn’t be dismissed. His Seton Hall teams played a style that can win games in this conference.
It is a done deal now, so let's get to work. Success in the portal can lead to an entertaining 2022-23 season. Let's go Maryland and HC Kevin Willard.
Just received this email…
I like it, Let's Go!

The good news for Willard is the team needs pretty much everything, so he doesn't have to be too picky about who he can find to add either as a transfer or as a new recruit.
Will be interesting to see who sticks around. I'm expecting Scott, Hart, and Reese to stay. Don't think Wahab returns. No idea on Martinez.

Gary approves but to be fair, if he hated it I think he'd still say something nice in public lol

Kevin Willard is officially the head coach at Maryland. Terps swung and missed at some bigger names, but landed a guy who has done an incredible job at Seton Hall the last 6-7 years.
I am curious as to who the bigger names really were. I do not think Miller or Pitino were ever seriously considered. The stink on both, probably lead the decision makers far away.

Reports of Kevin Willard's new deal were incorrect. Per good source, it’s a 7-year contract starting at $3.9M in 2022-23 with a $100,000 escalator each season. Worth $29.4 total.
That is a serious commitment.

I have read that he was involved in the search. I think he would have remained quiet if he did not like the pick.
I actually feel better about the choice than I thought I would.

I'd be surprised if both Scott and Hart stay. I'd be happy if 1 of them did.
No inside info there. But they're both seniors, with the coach they knew and were recruited by having left. I'd think they would at least look around.

No, he was quoted as saying he was not involved.
