Elmore never really thought about basketball for his future. “I certainly knew basketball could be a vehicle to get to college, but I wasn’t really accomplished; I was just learning how to play the game.” However, during his sophomore year, letters began rolling in from smaller schools, and once he entered his junior year, the big names started to emerge, Maryland, among many others.
It wasn’t long before the Terp had his heart set on the University of Maryland. “When you dream of a college campus, you have to see Maryland.” Not only was the idyllic campus a top seller for Elmore, but he greatly appreciated the close proximity to his home, the sizable African American community, the significant options to fulfill his interest in law, and Cole Field House.
Looking back on his time at Maryland, Elmore can’t pinpoint one specific moment as his favorite because they were all so memorable. “In all four years, I only lost two games on the floor of Cole Field House,” Elmore reminisces. He is so grateful for the memories he made while playing in front of 14,500 screaming fans; the adrenaline was like none other.
Elmore also remembers his time spent at McKeldin Mall. “At the time, it was just flat grass, a few walkways, and people sitting, talking, throwing the frisbee, and having fun.” The mall is where Elmore met his wife and many other classmates he is still connected with today. “That kind of community interaction was irreplaceable.”
