There's been plenty of chatter about Maryland moving to a more up-tempo attack next season, and it appears the Terps are doing exactly that.

"I watched them practice and they were really running. They're trying to change the offense and make it more fast-paced. Coach said they want to play like the Spurs because that suits their [personnel]," recruit Kevin Dorsey told IMS.

With the arrival of guards Melo Trimble, Dion Wiley and Jared Nickens -- along with mobile big men Michal Cekovsky and Trayvon Reed -- the Terps will look to get up and down in their inaugural Big Ten season.

Related notes: a source close to Wiley (pictured) tells IMS he's dropped 15 pounds, to 215, since arriving June 2. And per one observer at a recent pick-up game, Cekovsky looks to be about two inches taller than sophomore Damonte Dodd -- or a hair above seven feet.
