Pharrel Payne

Yeah, I do.

One thing they do have going for them is they have a return of Pharrell Payne, who averaged about 18 points per game and about eight, nine rebounds a game.

He had a season-ending leg injury in the middle of the season last year, and that really hurt them.

But he should be coming back at full health.

They got it out of it what they wanted to get out of it.

And it doesn't sound like Pharrell Payne played for Maryland in that.

So Maryland's best player didn't play.

We won by whatever margin.

They're similar to Virginia Tech.

They have a stud all conference big and a bunch of guards they're excited about.

And Maryland had a terrible year last year, a large part because Pharrell Payne went down and missed the whole season.

And he should be back for them and they should be a good team.

I see 12 as like... 12 and 13 are kind of the bottom of my middle group here.

I just see Buzz breaking through, and you've mentioned having Payne back and all that.

Babola Doden will be, I think, a nice physical raw piece to have in the Big Ten.

I'm going to take Buzz's freaking little vest and seven-piece suit and this damn time piece that he's got hanging out of his pocket, pocket squares and everything.

They're going to pound the glass.

And they got DJ Wagner to run the show offensively.

And they'll utilize Pharrell Payne and some pick and roll stuff.

And they'll be good to go.

About to enter its second season under Buzz Williams and a lot of a preseason buzz, if you will, about the program.

centering around the return to health of Pharrell Payne.

How he went about that injury has led to what he looks like now.

Lowest percent body fat of anybody that size that I've ever been around.

With the news of Mike Loxley's firing in College Park and the football team's 2-5 record, attention now turning to Maryland basketball.

Hendrickson is back, but still dealing with that finger injury that kept him out for a couple games.

Their, their, their defensive rebounding was a problem.

Some of it is definitely that, that they, uh, Pharrel Payne's a pretty good player.

Yeah.

I think people just forgot that he was on their team.

Um, they have DJ Wagner, who's like not at all what we thought DJ Wagner was gonna be like four years ago, but he's a dude that's probably gonna give them nine, 10 points a game.

Pharrel Payne is back.

He got his fifth year approved.

He is an absolute monster.

They got Bishop Boswell from Tennessee, who's a good def piece, a good six man.

They brought another big guy from New Mexico.

But for me really, it's Andre Mills I think is a star, and then they've got those two big guys, the freshman and, and Pharrel Payne.

Um, so I, I put them seventh.
