The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s basketball program picked up its first commitment for the 2018 signing class over the weekend when guard Eboni Williams pledged to join the Mocs.
“The decision has been very difficult, but I have decided to continue my academic and athletic career at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga,” Williams tweeted.
The 6-foot junior guard/forward was an Alabama Class 7A first-team all-state selection for Hoover High School. She averaged 11.6 points and 7.5 rebounds a game and had 84 steals for the Lady Bucs, who won the 7A state championship.
She had scholarship offers from Alabama-Birmingham, Arkansas-Little Rock, Georgia State, Jacksonville State, Samford and South Alabama.
UTC’s Mocs are expected to lose three seniors after the 2017-18 season: point guard Chelsey Shumpert and sisters Aryanna and Keiana Gilbert, both forwards.
