When Kevin Willard left Maryland, the worry was that he was going to take some Terrapins with him. So far, nobody has followed Willard to the 'Cats, but Maryland has lost almost its entire roster to this point to either graduation or the transfer portal.

Willard met the media for the first time since becoming the head coach of the Wildcats. He talked about his exit from Maryland and much more.

He loves this job, he reiterated. He wants to be at Maryland. He left Seton Hall for this job because he grew up watching Steve Francis play and Gary Williams coach. The tradition of Maryland basketball energized him. The possibilities excite him.
