Moving In

The Terps have acquired a new guard . . . Illinois transfer Lori Bjork. Bjork recently finished her junior year at Illinois, where in three years she set the school record for career three-pointers. Per NCAA rules, Bjork will sit out the coming season, and finish her college career in Maryland red during the 2009-10 campaign. Bjork is no stranger to the Frese family; Coach B's sister, Marsha, was Associate Head Coach at Illinois during Bjork's first two seasons. Bjork's mom, Louila, is already impressed with the Terps' operation:

"It's a breath of fresh air. Even before she went out there, Brenda wrote postcards to (Lori's father) Alan and me, saying how excited she was about recruiting Lori. The day Lori moved in out there -- even though Brenda was on the road recruiting -- her husband showed up and helped Lori and Alan move into the apartment. We're extremely impressed. Their basketball operations guy, Rhet (Wierzba), has just been a real hard worker trying to smooth over all the transition things."

Welcome, Lori!
