Guard Torian Graham has become the men’s basketball program’s first signee for new head coach Kelvin Sampson with the signing of a National Letter of Intent.
Graham, who stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 200 pounds, joins the Cougars after competing for the previous two seasons at Chipola Junior College. Graham will compete as a junior with the Cougars during the 2014-15 season.
“Torian has a lot of upside. He is extremely athletic, finishes well on the break and is a good 3-point shooter,” Sampson said. “As we help him become a better player, Torian can come in and fill a need for us right away.”
As a sophomore in 2013-14, Graham averaged 12.9 points and 2.0 rebounds per game while helping lead the Indians to a 26-6 record. He opened the season with a game-high 34 points on 13-of-22 shooting from the field against East Georgia State College and added a 29-point effort at South Georgia State College later in the season.
Way to go Coach Sampson! This guy was a highly recruited player when he came out of high school. Will make an immediate contribution to our win/loss statistic.
Good recruiting is just about to start. Go Sampson GO COOGS!!!
Can’t wait to see what Sampson does with the team next season! Go Coogs!
