While plenty of Maryland men’s basketball fans were adamant that head coach Buzz Williams needed to add pieces through the portal, few of them would have expected or wanted Williams to go in the direction
he seems to be going.
Maryland will host 25-year-old Kyree Walker for a visit Wednesday, as per the player himself. The 6-foot-6 small forward has four years of eligibility.
Walker originally committed to play college basketball at Arizona State in June 2017. (For reference, in June 2017, this currently-a-college-sophomore writer finished sixth grade). He later decommitted and decided to try to play professionally, skipping college entirely.
After playing a season in the G League, Walker went to the Greek league for a year. Since then, he has had multiple stops with teams in the Canadian and Mongolian leagues.
Now, his next home might be in College Park.
