Maryland is reportedly pursuing the Virginia Commonwealth forward. He would be critical in the future.
This upcoming season is clearly Maryland basketball's "up" year. The Terrapins' reported pursuit of Virginia Commonwealth transfer forward Terry Larrier would go a long way toward preventing a brutal down year after that.
It's hard to keep a perpetually stocked cupboard of talent in college basketball. When a team loses four or five starters to the NBA, as Maryland will likely do next year, that attrition takes a necessary toll. For every Kentucky or Kansas, which can cycle through blue-chip talent every year or two and stay at the apex of the sport, there are 10 programs that get just the right mix of talented underclassmen and good-but-not-NBA-good veterans to be terrific for a season or two.
