Now, they have just as many transfer portal additions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5g\">Their latest acquisition is forward Maban Jabriel, who previously spent two years with Queens University of Charlotte, a member of the ASUN.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5j\">Jabriel announced his commitment to Maryland on his Instagram account:<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5q\">During his sophomore campaign with the Royals, Jabriel played in all 35 games, mainly off the bench, and averaged 7.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 19.8 minutes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5t\">Shooting is Jabriel&#8217;s greatest strength. At 6&#8217;9&#8243;, he has the size to win battles close to the basket, but the Waterloo, Ontario native can score from all over the court.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5w\">Jabriel shot 49.5% from the field, 43.2% from deep, and 77.4% at the free throw line last season. The Terps can certainly use the help after being the worst shooting team (40.7% overall) not just in the Big Ten, but across all the Power conferences.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5z\">The rest of Maryland&#8217;s transfer class looks like this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/college\/maryland\/basketball\/buzz-williams-terrapins-mens-basketball-lands-tomislav-buljan-as-first-transfer-portal-addition-01knyeh6x51a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tomislav Buljan<\/a> &#8211; power forward who averaged 13.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists for New Mexico last season.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/college\/maryland\/basketball\/fifth-year-forward-robert-jennings-ii-transfers-to-terrapins-01kp4w1qvq77\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Robert Jennings II<\/a> &#8211; power forward who averaged 5.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 0.3 assists for Oklahoma State in 2024-25 (injured most of last season).<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/college\/maryland\/basketball\/bishop-boswell-transferring-to-maryland-basketball-01kp95j2h9fh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bishop Boswell<\/a> &#8211; combo guard who averaged 6.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists for Tennessee last season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6b\">Put together, the Terps currently have the No. 4 incoming crop of players, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/247sports.com\/season\/2026-basketball\/overallteamrankings\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">247 Sports<\/a>.
