University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's basketball coach Matt McCall announced the addition of Iowa transfer Andrew Fleming to the program on Tuesday.
The versatile Fleming, who stands 6-foot-5, committed to the program in April. He will have to sit out the 2016-17 season and will have three seasons of eligibility remaining.
His addition will help offset the loss of six seniors after this coming season.
"Officially Moc bound! Moc up!" Fleming tweeted.
McCall said that Fleming, who prepped at Ensworth for three seasons before playing his final year of high school at Oak Hill Academy, will have the ability to play three positions for the Mocs much like senior Tre' McLean did in the UTC coach's first season with the program.
"He can do so many things," McCall said. "People label him as a shooter, but his ability to create for teammates is what separates him from a lot of guys. He has the ability to shoot, but he can do so much more, especially when the ball is in his hands."
McCall thinks that Fleming can be used in the same way that his former employer, the University of Florida, used Chandler Parsons when the current Dallas Maverick was in Gainesville, Fla.
His addition completes the Mocs' signing class for the 2016-17 season. Freshman guards David Jean-Baptiste, Rodney Chatman and Makale Foreman; junior college transfer Nat Dixon, who began his career as a wide receiver at Boston College; and Xavier transfer Makinde' London have already been announced.
