The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men’s basketball team lost a player from its 2015 signing class earlier this week.
They’ve picked up two since.
The Mocs and new head coach Matt McCall picked up a commitment from 6-foot-6 forward Traevis Graham from Stuart, Fla., on Wednesday. He becomes the second player to make a non-binding pledge to the program in the past 24 hours, joining sharpshooting guard Peyton Woods out of Wayne County, Ky. Both are expected to sign by week’s end.
Graham originally signed with Florida Atlantic and then-head coach Mike Jarvis prior to his senior season at Martin County High School. Jarvis was let go after the 2013-14 season, and Graham asked for his release in July, citing a “misunderstanding with the coaching staff” that was led by new coach Michael Curry.
He chose to play last season at Daytona State Community College, averaging 8.3 points and 4.6 rebounds, and will have three years of eligibility at UTC. His coach, Ryan Ridder, said the Mocs are getting an extremely long, athletic forward.
