The Maryland Terrapins have just addressed a critical need, securing a commitment from former Tennessee guard Bishop Boswell via the transfer portal. This move signals a direct effort to fix an offense that struggled mightily from beyond the arc last season.
Despite launching the fifth-most three-point attempts in the Big Ten, the Terps ranked near the bottom in three-point shooting percentage. For Coach Buzz Williams's system to thrive, they needed a proven shooter who can stretch defenses and consistently knock down shots. In Bishop Boswell, they may have found their answer.
After a quiet freshman campaign, Boswell broke out as a sophomore for the Volunteers, starting 33 of 34 games. He established himself as a reliable perimeter threat, connecting on 38% of his attempts from downtown. His clutch shooting was on full display in the NCAA Tournament, where he drained four three-pointers in a Round of 32 battle against Virginia.
Beyond his scoring, Boswell brings a defensive tenacity that will fit perfectly in the physical Big Ten. He averaged over a steal per game last season, proving he can impact the game on both ends of the floor. For a Maryland team looking to climb the conference standings, adding a seasoned, two-way player like Boswell is a significant step in the right direction.
