Eboni Williams has dreams at night of University of Tennessee at Chattanooga assistant coach Debbie Black telling the Mocs freshman to “slow down.”
“I’m learning,” Williams said, with Black adding that “she’s getting it. She gets that she’s a package.”
Williams is one of four freshmen hoping to make an impact for the youthful Mocs this season as they prepare for the season opener against NCAA Division II member Lee University next Tuesday at McKenzie Arena. It’s a week that ends with a home matchup against 2018 national runner-up Louisville.
The 6-foot forward from Hoover High School was an Alabama second-team all-state selection in 2018, a year after earning first-team honors as well as the most valuable player distinction at the 2017 Class 7A state tournament. She averaged 11.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game for the Lady Bucs.
She briefly gave volleyball a shot (“lasted about a week”). She also did a lot of drawing (“I don’t know why I quit.”).
