Buzz Williams and Maryland basketball landed their third transfer commitment on Sunday. The Terps landed former Washington State and Indiana guard Myles Rice, who has two years of eligibility remaining. Rice began his basketball journey with the Cougars before transferring to the Hoosiers, where he started 25 games this year. Rice averaged 10.1 points and 2.8 rebounds and assists with Indiana. He shot over 32% from deep.

The year prior, with Washington State, Rice averaged nearly 15 points per game. With the addition of Rice, Maryland could have its new go-to scorer next season, barring a commitment from Rodney Rice. The 6-3 guard is an ideal fit for Williams' system that he's bringing over from Texas A&M.

Following the commitment, social media was impressed with the commitment from Rice. Here are some of the best reactions.
