Greivis Vasquez is a sophomore guard on the University of Maryland basketball team. He was born in Caracas, Venezuela and moved to Maryland to attend high school at Montrose Christian School.[1] During his senior year at Montrose, he committed to The University of Maryland to play under head coach Gary Williams. In 2007, Greivis played on the national basketball team of Venezuela in the FIBA America Championships.

[edit] Freshman Year

In the beginning of his Freshman year, Grevis did not start for the Terps, but still played solid minutes. Midway through the season, he beat out fellow Freshman Eric Hayes for the starting point guard position, where he remained for the rest of the season. He heavily contributed to the Terrapins' six-game win streak at the end of the season, which resulted in Maryland earning a #4 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
