"Eric gives us excellent experience at the center position, something we were lacking after the graduation of Dan Jennings," head coach Dan Monson said in a release. "He's had the experience of starting for a team that reached the Sweet 16, and that will be valuable for this team."

Eagles head coach Joe Dooley kicked the Raleigh, NC native off the team following a string of suspensions due to a violation of team rules.
After being on the receiving end of numerous alley-oops during Dunk City's Sweet Sixteen run in 2013, McKnight is now headed to his third school. Coincidentally, he will meet up with former USC forward Rochson Prince, who also played under Andy Enfield.
