FGCU Transfer Eric McKnight Officially Added To LBSU Roster

After almost landing at Tennessee under new coach Donnie Tyndall, former FGCU center Eric McKnight has now officially been added to the roster at Long Beach State. He will be eligible immediately.

"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."

McKnight, who graduated in May, originally transferred to play for the Volunteers. And although the NCAA approved his graduate transfer waiver, the South Eastern Conference denied his request.

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.
