Emilien Officially Signs With Terps

Press Release 

COLLEGE PARK, MD – Maryland men’s basketball head coach Kevin Willard has announced the addition of forward Patrick Emilien as a graduate transfer from St. Francis (N.Y). A native of Toronto, Ontario averaged 12.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game in 27 starts with the Terriers last season after playing three seasons at Western Michigan.

“Patrick is an experienced athletic forward and we are excited to welcome him to Maryland,” said Willard. “He can finish above the rim while also being a great mid-post and mid-range shooter. He really has the ability to stretch the floor, which will be a big advantage for us. Patrick brings great energy and will provide a veteran presence.”

“I can’t wait to get to College Park and be a Terp,” said Emilien. “Coach Willard and the staff have been great throughout the recruiting process and I can’t wait to make a difference with my ability and experience.”
