New Maryland men’s basketball head coach Buzz Williams‘ first high school recruiting class with the Terps now stands at two.

Class of 2025 point guard Guillermo Del Pino has signed with Maryland, CBS Sports college basketball insider Jon Rothstein reported on Friday afternoon.

Del Pino, not rated on 247Sports’ ratings, is listed at 6-foot-4 and 183 pounds, per RealGM.

Del Pino, who turned 18 on Jan. 12, averaged 11.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks per game in seven games playing for Spain at the FIBA U17 Basketball World Cup in Türkiye. 

He was recognized as an all-star at the NBA’s Basketball Without Borders camp this past February. He did an interview with 247Sports’ Dushawn London shortly after and described his game.

“I consider myself to be a very energetic player who gives 100% on the court,” he told London. “I can contribute to the creation and management of the game. I can shoot the three and I think I have great potential as a defensive player. I do those things well. I am working to improve on my physical conditioning.”

Del Pino helped guide Spain to the FIBA U16 European Championship in North Macedonia in August 2023. He earned MVP honors after scoring 22 points in a 77-68 win over Italy in the final. For the tournament, he averaged 14.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.9 steals per game.

“He takes a lot of off the dribble shots,” popular talent evaluator Arman Jovic said on a radio appearance with ESPN Louisville in February. “He’s shifty. He can really play. He was the MVP of E16, and so he’s a really, really talented guard. I’m a little bit lower than him amongst like some other European services I’ve seen, but I think he could be a good depth piece and for [the future would] be a good player.”

Del Pino joins McDonald’s All-American and five-star combo guard Darius Adams in the Class of 2025 heading to College Park. He is the 10th player on Williams’ first roster at Maryland, joining Texas A&M transfers Pharrel Payne, Solomon Washington, Andre Mills and George Turkson Jr., Indiana transfer Myles Rice, Washington State transfer Isaiah Watts, Kansas transfer David Coit and Virginia transfer Elijah Saunders.

AI-assisted summaryMatt Luce, Wapahani’s all-time winningest boys basketball coach, is leaving after 18 seasons to lead the New Castle Trojans.Luce amassed a 335-99 record at Wapahani, leading the Raiders to multiple county, sectional and regional titles, and a 2A state runner-up finish in 2023-24.NEW CASTLE — After an incredibly successful 18-year run, the Matt Luce era of Wapahani boys basketball has come to an end.Luce was named the next head coach at New Castle following a special session of the New Castle Community Schools board on Friday, May 2. He went 335-99 during his time at Wapahani, making him the program’s all-time winningest coach.”How exciting to be the new coach of the New Castle Trojans?” Luce said. “With that comes a lot of tradition, a lot of expectations, a lot of fun. I think my wife and I will be excited for it, and we’re ready to roll again, so just excited to be standing here and thrilled to be the next coach at New Castle.”The news was first reported May 1 on social media by Sam Frick of Around the Northeast Corner.

Luce, a 1992 graduate of Wapahani, led the Raiders to six Delaware County titles, seven sectional crowns, three regional championships and one semi-state title during his tenure. Wapahani finished as IHSAA Class 2A state runners-up in the 2023-24 season. Prior to Luce’s arrival, Wapahani had endured 10 straight losing seasons.

For Luce, the decision to leave Wapahani and the Selma community where he grew up was not an easy one.”Bittersweet,” Luce said of his decision. “What a wonderful 18 years at Wapahani, coaching basketball, teaching, raising my family, making so many friends. It’s the teachers, it’s the assistant coaches, it’s the players and their families. Extremely bittersweet.”New Castle athletic director Cory Bennett highlighted the characteristics that made Luce stand out as a candidate for the Trojans head coaching job.”Obviously, he has a great record at Wapahani,” Bennet said. “But I think also just the fact that he’s been running the ECI leagues, so obviously he has a lot of knowledge with feeder systems and putting time into feeder systems. And I think the last part was just personality. I mean, we felt like when he came in, he was easy to talk to. Thought he would fit in well with not only all of us, but also the community.”Luce began his coaching career as an assistant at Fountain Central from 1999-2001. He then was an assistant at Crawfordsville in 2001-02 before beginning his head coaching career at Southwestern (Hanover) in 2002-03. He returned to Crawfordsville as the head coach for 2003-04 before spending three years as the head coach at Benton Central from 2004-07. Luce returned to Wapahani in 2007. His overall career coaching record is 385-159.Luce is from a family of coaches, including his father Mike, brothers Joe and Kris, and nephew Tommy. Joe Luce was recently named the next head coach at Wawasee after three seasons at Tippecanoe Valley.Contact Cade Hampton via email at cbhampton@muncie.gannett.com or on X, formerly known as Twitter, @CadeHamp10.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – A unique wrestling show featuring a troupe of little people is drawing big crowds across the country and they made a stop Friday night at the Buzzed Crow Bistro in Colorado Springs.

While the performers say it’s all in the name of fun, others strongly disagree.

The group behind the event has been touring the country for over a decade, marketing itself as a form of professional wrestling entertainment.

DJ TooTall, a former wrestler and current team member, told KRDO13 the show is a way to bring joy to people and to showcase their talents.

“We do it so people can come out and relax and have a good time; take their thoughts, depression, or whatever it is, away and put a smile on their face,” DJ TooTall said.

He adds, “There’s nothing bad about it. We’re not exploiting anything. We’re just making money off what God gave us.”

The nonprofit advocacy organization Little People of America (LPA) doesn’t see it that way.

In a statement to KRDO13, the group called the event “dehumanizing” and said such spectacles jeopardize both the health and dignity of performers with dwarfism.

LPA also takes issue with the use of the slur “midget” in promotional materials, which they say contradicts ongoing efforts to advance the rights and representation of little people.

While acknowledging the physical risks, performers argue they face no greater danger than taller athletes in mainstream professional wrestling.

“It’s a sport. It’s the same thing as WWE or WWF, just in a shorter version,” DJ TooTall said.

Despite the controversy, the event went on as planned; met with cheers, laughter, and enthusiastic applause from the sold-out audience.
