Maryland Basketball: Steve Blake reacts to son becoming a Terrapin
In this story:
Maryland basketball legend Steve Blake was obviously happy when it was announced that his son, Nick, committed to the Terrapins. On Tuesday, the announcement of Nick's commitment made waves on social media, as Maryland fans were excited to learn that the son of a national champion was on his way to College Park.
As a senior at Olympia High School in Orlando, Blake averaged 10.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. He was originally committed to play for Scranton University, but the opportunity to follow in his father's footsteps was too good to pass up.
Shortly after the announcement, Steve took to Twitter/X to share his excitement.
"Really excited for Nick to go to Maryland and experience what it’s like to be Terp! They’re getting a great young man who will do whatever it takes to help his team win. Big thank you to Coach Buzz and his staff for making this a reality! Go Terps!"
