Maurice Commander to UT Chattanooga
Curie 2018 point guard Maurice Commander saw his stock steadily rise over the last year. He had a big junior season with Marist and followed it up with a monster summer for Young & Reckless. Commander has made his college choice as he announced he will attend UT Chattanooga! He told us why they were his choice.
“I chose UT-Chattanooga because deep down inside I knew I could trust Coach Paris and the staff. Also it was the fact that they believed in me from the jump! I know for a fact that could go to war this coaching staff.”
What will he bring to the Mocs attack?
“I’m able to come in and use my leadership for this team. On the court I feel like I bring strength to their back court scoring wise and also my feel for the game in finding teammates for open looks. Really I’m going in to just do whatever I got to do to win games.”
The lefty floor general is a prospect that is strong with the ball in his hands. Dynamic attacking in the open floor and gets to the rim. Can also knock down a shot especially off the catch. Great leadership qualities out of this rising senior both as a vocal leader and is the guy that finds others on the floor to make their games shine. He will be an impact prospect at this level in college and should see minutes as a freshman.
Commander is the #19 overall prospect and #5 point guard in the 2018 class in the state of Illinois.
