Jordan Geronimo offers athleticism and physicality to Maryland, which brings back much of last year’s NCAA tournament roster.

“I was a big,” Geronimo said of his role with the Hoosiers. “Being a big in the Big Ten means you have to be physical. In practice, I’m just trying to prepare the younger guys and guys who don’t know what the Big Ten is like, how it is, whether it’s setting hard screens or whether you’ve got to box out over taller people. I’m just trying to prepare the team for what’s going on, and that’s how I bring physicality to the game.
