Jon Graham, a 6'8 forward from Baltimore, played two seasons for the Terps from 2013-2015 after transferring from Penn State. Graham, the son of Terps legend Ernie Graham, talked about his decision to come to Maryland, what it was like having an all-timer for a father, playing for Mark Turgeon, and when he knew Melo Trimble was the real deal. He also shares some great perspective on how Maryland could better connect with past generations of players through events like Shell Shock and The Basketball Tournament (TBT).
