On Randle: Returning senior whose development in 2002 was instrumental in the Terps' drive to the NCAA title … fills interior roles at power forward and center, and was remarkably productive in his first Division I season while averaging just 9.6 minutes per game … former junior college recruit who helped Allegany CC to the national junior college finals … helped re-stock Maryland's interior depth, while adding another quality shooter facing the basket … handles the ball well, and passes well for a big man, has surprising agility for his size and displayed outstanding ability to block shots.

Williams on Randle: "When Ryan came in, nobody was sure exactly just how good he could be for us. He turned out to be, by the end of the year, someone you could put in the game and have no worries. He was very dependable. He played a great deal of time against Kansas when Lonny [Baxter] got into foul trouble. He's played really well against good teams and good players. This is a big year for Ryan. When you come in as a junior college player, you want to make sure you have that senior year that really pays off. I think Ryan has the potential to play after college, so this will be a big year for him to polish his game. He can shoot the ball, he can pass, and put it on the floor a little bit."

2001-02: Played in 34 games during his first major college season, averaging 3.8 points and 3.1 rebounds in 9.6 minutes of action … agile big man rounded out Maryland's incredibly deep frontcourt in his first season with the team … made his Terrapin debut against Temple at the Coaches vs. Cancer IKON Classic … contributed seven points against American and Detroit in his first two games at Cole Field House … best statistical outing was against Norfolk State when he registered his first five blocked shots of the season to go along with a career-high 12 points and eight rebounds in a career-high 25 minutes … nine points came in 12 minutes against North Carolina on Jan. 9, on 4-of-4 shooting with a three rebounds and two steals … six points and five rebounds in 16 minutes at Florida State … scored six points, pulled down two rebounds and blocked three shots in 11 minutes vs. FSU in the ACC Tournament … registered four points and three rebounds in his first NCAA Tournament appearance, vs. Siena, and added four points and four rebounds in an NCAA second round game vs. Wisconsin … logged 15 valuable minutes as the Terps topped Kansas in the Final Four.

At Allegany CC: Played the 1999-00 and 2000-01 seasons at Allegany CC where he helped lead the Trojans to the NJCAA championship game as a sophomore … led Allegany to a 32-3 record and earned all-league honors in the Maryland Junior College Athletic Conference … Allegany finished 16-1 in the MJCAA … Allegany was ranked No. 10 in the country, topping the century mark 16 times and ranking second in the nation in scoring … averaged 13.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game while leading the team with 61 blocked shots … shot near 60 percent and ranked among MJCAA leaders … team was 28-2 as a freshman, when he averaged 10.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and led the team with 31 blocks … also had 43 assists and 27 steals, and shot 51.5 percent from the field … season-high 23 points against Harford … helped send the Trojans to the Maryland JUCO championship with a rebound, full-court dribble and a 30-foot 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds remaining to send Allegany to a 72-71 win over Cecil … prompted coach Bob Kirk to claim after his freshman year that Randle was "the best player on our team even though he didn't start. We've never had anyone who is as capable a player except for Steve Francis." … Francis played at Allegany during the 1998 season before competing at Maryland as a junior in 1999.
