Why did Darius Adams choose Maryland?
Adams ranks sixth in the shooting guard position and second in Indiana. He received offers from 23 programs, including the Tennessee Volunteers, NC State Wolfpack and Notre Dame Fighting Irish, among others.
He spoke to On3 about his decision:
“Buzz Williams is known for winning at every different program he goes to. He’s develops guards and has off court relationships with his players. Maryland has a great history of basketball and can’t wait to show the fans what I’m going to bring to the table!”
Adams is the only player signed by Maryland from the 2025 Class.
