Derik Queen Commits to Maryland, Boosting Men's Basketball Program

The 5-star recruit's decision marks a significant win for the Terps, who have faced challenges in recent seasons.

Derik Queen, a top high school basketball prospect, commits to Maryland, marking a significant recruitment win for the program.
Queen's commitment is seen as a major boost for Maryland's men's basketball team, which has struggled in recent seasons.
At 6-foot-10 and 245 pounds, Queen is the highest-rated recruit to commit to Maryland since 2018.
Queen chose Maryland over other top programs, citing a strong relationship with the coaching staff and the appeal of playing close to home.
His addition is expected to significantly strengthen Maryland's roster, which will see major changes next season due to expiring eligibility and potential transfers.
