Adams explained to On3 why he chose Maryland and Buzz Williams.

“Buzz Williams is known for winning at every different program he goes to. He’s develops guards and has off court relationships with his players. Maryland has a great history of basketball and can’t wait to show the fans what I’m going to bring to the table!”
