(2024) PF - Derik Queen to Maryland

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,041]

Queen's personality seems to be very laid back except when he's on the hardwood.  Loved it when Woody got the smile out of him with the little hip check.

Definitely kind of a flatliner. Even when Montverde won Geico when he was a Soph, everyone else was celebrating and Queen just had this “well, that was nice” demeanor going on.

Houston was always going to get a visit. So not really indicative of anything other than sticking to his process.

CMW and his staff are four deep at Montverde today for Liam, Queen and Givens per Rabby

Don't worry, I'm here in Houston. I'll go pin up IU posters all over campus and will otherwise sabotage the visit ;)

Put on a nice suit, walk right up to him on campus, and tell him Houston has discontinued its NIL program.

Put on a candy striped suit, light your best cigar, and go take a selfie video saying “DERIK! HOUSTON SUCKS RIGHT? BLINK ONCE IF HOUSTON SUCKS!”

 

works every time

Doubt they’ll get any of them, maybe Codie, but that is a strong weekend of visits.

They are all sorts of shady so I would never count them out

Doubt it matters because I really don’t think this is the play for Queen, but LSU just took a commitment from ‘24 top 50ish C/PF Robert Miller.

Woody putting in that effort this recruitng cycle.  That’s for sure. Hope it pays off

Great news,  we don't want Derik to be the forgotten man and we get the last word instead of Self.

Have either Liam or Derik announced an announcement date?

Nope. Presumably, McNeely’s would be any time. Fland should be close, too.  Queen still has officials to Houston and Maryland. So, you have to assume he’ll be closer to the actual signing period.

Cassidy believes Queen is signing early. Has always seemed logical, but this kid and his people really don’t talk much.

This sounds like we’re in 3rd….

DQs camp has been very quiet and his thoughts/preferences have not been known really so this is either new or the writers thoughts.  Hard to tell at this point still until pretty reliable people start talking
