Steve Goins was cleared by the NCAA to join the Maryland basketball team giving the squad 12 members out of the 13 player limit. Goins is more of a project at the moment but his size, 6-10 260 pounds, may make him useful this fall with a dearth of inside players. If Goins works hard at defense and rebounding he may be a factor this season but he is probably going to provide depth in case of injury or foul trouble. My hope is that the early conference schedule will give him the chance to get some valuable game experience. Last season the Terps were shaky in the out of conference games requiring the starters to see more time on the court, along with some substitution patterns that came back to bite the team in the ass later in the year, resulting in some young bench players not progressing as much as they should have.
