It seems Eric Turner has found a new home.
The 6-foot-6 forward, who was on the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga campus this weekend, gave his nonbinding pledge to play basketball for the Mocs beginning in 2017. It is the program’s first commitment for that year’s signing class.
“Say Hello to the New Tennessee Chattanooga commit #UTC #GoMocs,” Turner tweeted Sunday afternoon.
Turner, who prepped at The Villages Charter High School in Gainesville, Fla., was a three-star prospect who averaged 23.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game during his junior season. In fall 2014, before his senior season, he committed to play for the University of Wyoming but later decommitted before signing with Florida International.
He ultimately ended up at Chipola Junior College in Florida, where he averaged 11.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game last season.
