After Maryland Basketball exceeded the scholarship limit with the return of Donta Scott, the writing was on the wall that someone would be transferring out. That came to fruition on Wednesday as reserve big Arnaud Revaz entered the portal. Behind Ike Cornish and Hakim Hart, he is the third Terp to put his name in the transfer portal this offseason.
Revaz saw little time over three seasons with Maryland Basketball, playing 34 minutes over 14 games. He has logged three points, nine rebounds, and one assist in his collegiate career. The 6’10” big was the final member of former head coach Mark Turgeon’s 2020 recruiting class still on the Maryland roster. Being a holdover from the Turgeon era that also rarely saw the court, it’s not surprising that Revaz was on the outs as a result of the UMD scholarship situation.
Hailing from Switzerland, Arnaud Revaz has some experience with the Swiss U-18 and U-23 national teams. Before committing to Maryland, he spent time with the JL Bourg basketball club in France, averaging 6.7 points and 3.5 rebounds in the French Pro A U-21 division.
Revaz entering the transfer portal means Maryland Basketball is squarely at the maximum of 13 scholarships. Kevin Willard’s pursuit of Michigan center Hunter Dickinson is ongoing. Should UMD successfully land the DeMatha product, another current scholarship player from Maryland’s roster will need to transfer. Even if the hunt for Dickinson doesn’t pan out, Willard can just move forward with the group he has at this moment, but further shuffling is not out of the question at all.
Maryland Basketball finished this past season with a 22-13 overall record and 11-9 mark in Big Ten play. They entered the 2023 NCAA Tournament as the No. 8 seed in the South Region, defeating No. 9 West Virginia in the Round of 64 before falling to No. 1 overall seed Alabama in the Round of 32. Looking ahead to 2023-24, Maryland has the No. 17 incoming class per 247Sports and stand to return three starters. Following a season of unexpected success, the future is bright in College Park.
