Bobi Klintman: "I'm really excited to join the team and get to work with the guys," Klintman said. "When I visited the school, I could really see the family environment and the great chemistry. I've heard that the fans are crazy and when I'm watching videos I can see it. I'm really excited to meet and play for the fans. I'm a wing/big guard with a good feel for the game and will bring versatility and athleticism to the Terps."
Head coach Mark Turgeon: "We are thrilled to officially welcome Bobi to the University of Maryland men's basketball program," Turgeon said. "First and foremost, we fell in love with his personality and felt he would fit in well with the overall character of our team. As a player, he's almost 6-10 with really good skill. He's an elite passer who sees the floor like a point guard and has a great feel for the game. He's going to be an excellent shooter and I think with his size he's going to be a guy that can play multiple positions for us. We're super excited about Bobi."
Anna Klintman, mother: "I am extremely excited and happy that Bobi is going to study at the University of Maryland and play basketball for the Terrapins. I am very grateful to coach Turgeon and all the staff for this amazing opportunity."
Luke Barnwell, Sunrise Christian Academy head coach: "Bobi has an outstanding skill set at 6-9 with the ability to shoot from deep and make plays for others. We saw a natural fit with the versatility of how coach Turgeon plays his wings and Bobi is a great fit."
