Duke graduate transfer Sean Obi will visit the Maryland men’s basketball team on Monday, according to CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein.
Obi didn’t play last season after undergoing knee surgery over the summer. The 6-foot-9 forward played in 10 games in the 2015-2016 season, notching 10 rebounds and five points.
Before transferring to Duke, Obi averaged 11.4 points and 9.4 rebounds per game as a freshman at Rice.

The Terps’ frontcourt had limited depth last season, and Obi could bolster the group with the departure of center Damonte Dodd and forward L.G. Gill. As of now, center Michal Cekovsky, forward Ivan Bender and incoming four-star forward Bruno Fernando are expected to make up Maryland’s big men rotation.
Guard Melo Trimble declared for the NBA Draft and guards Jaylen Brantley and Micah Thomas transferred, leaving three scholarships available for coach Mark Turgeon.
Two years ago, Turgeon added another Duke graduate transfer, guard Rasheed Sulaimon, who started every game of the 2015-2016 season. The sixth-year coach has landed four graduate transfers the past five years.
