The Terps have long utilized players from the DMV to build success. That has not changed this season, most notably with Jakia Brown-Turner and Riley Nelson.
Jones played for the Terps from 2013 to 2017 before entering the WNBA. She’s now Maryland’s Director of Player Personnel, and has already left an imprint with Doumbouya.
