Potential Reserves

G Eric Ayala: Ayala came to College Park via IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. According to the 247Sports Composite, Ayala was the No.78 best player nationally, No. 9 combo guard and the No.10 best player in Florida. He could be more than capable backup point guard to Anthony Cowan Jr. The six-foot-five, 180-pound guard, has the quickness and speed to drive the lane and run the fast break and he can rebound the ball. See his film here.

G Reese Mona: Mona was a high school teammate of Cowan Jr. at St. John College High School in Washington, DC. He saw limited time as a freshman in the 2017 season but his role off the bench could increase depending on game situations and lineup changes that Turgeon makes.

F Joshua Tomaic: Tomaic played 26 games for the Terps in the 2017-18 season after redshirting the season prior. I see him getting possibly the same number of games played off the bench as a big body at six-foot-nine 235 pounds. He scored and rebounded the ball well when he had time on the floor which is what the Terps need from their big men.

F Trace Ramsey: He could be a good option at small forward. I’d like to see him on the floor to further evaluate him.

F Ivan Bender: Bender is the other senior on Maryland’s 2018-19 squad. He is coming off of a torn meniscus injury and he has an opportunity to be that senior leader the Terps need in the frontcourt. If healthy, he should get plenty of time on the court off the bench and starting as well. He played 15 games last year starting seven of them.

F Ricky Lindo:  Ricky Lindo Jr. came to College Park from Woodrow Wilson High School in Washington DC. He was a three-star recruit and played AAU for DC Premier and led them to the championship game at the Under Armour Finals and recorded 14 points and nine rebounds. He was named a 2018 All-Metro Honorable Mention and helped lead Wilson High School to DCIAA and DCSAA titles in 2018 averaging 13.4 PPG and 5.9 rebounds per game. See his highlights here.
