Last
week, the Friends of Maryland Basketball held its annual banquet at
Congressional Country Club in Bethesda. When
Mark Turgeon spoke, he introduced his coaching staff — including new director
of basketball operations Cliff Warren — and thanked fans for their support.
Then everyone watched a video. It showed highlights of Trimble, the McDonald’s all-American at O’Connell High who will ride the crest of the latest wave of expectations for the program, especially in the wake of Allen’s transfer.
The night Allen first told Turgeon he wanted to leave, Turgeon called Trimble and told him to be ready. Once Trimble came to campus on June 2, he would be the starting point guard, tasked with adjusting to college life, running the offense better than his predecessors and handling the pressure associated with someone of his caliber.

“It
makes me want to enter school right now,” Trimble said.
