REPORT: Kevin Willard meeting with Villanova today, plans to inform Maryland of decision tonight
In this story:
It appears that we're nearing the end of the Kevin Willard coaching saga in Maryland. According to a report from Matt Norlander of CBS Sports, Willard is meeting with Villanova officials today and is expected to inform Maryland and his team of his decision tonight.
This latest report is in line with other rumors that were circulating social media this weekend indicating that Willard was spotted at Villanova.
Here’s the latest on Kevin Willard, per sources: He has not informed Maryland at this hour of what he’s doing. That said, Villanova is absolutely expecting him at this point and is ready to get moving. Willard and Nova officials are meeting today to try and sew things up.

The expectation is Willard will have his decision later tonight and inform his team and Maryland’s top officials, I’m told, and that his buyout dropping 500K on Tuesday isn’t a big hurdle to getting a deal done with Nova.

Over the last two weeks, Willard made it crystal clear that there were a number of issues with the Maryland basketball program. From a lack of strong NIL support to the fact that there's no current AD in place, Willard was open about his concerns in remaining with the Terrapins. Apparently those concerns were too big for either side to overcome, and the belief now is that Willard will announce his decision in a matter of hours.
