When four-star Class of 2021 forward James Graham signed his National Letter of Intent in early November, he was preparing behind the scenes for an even bigger move.
Maryland men’s basketball head coach Mark Turgeon had brought up the idea of enrolling early to Graham when he committed back in August. As the Wisconsin native neared signing day, he circled back to ask if there was a scholarship still available.
“We both were entertaining it,” Graham told Testudo Times. “But soon after that conversation it became a real reality.”
With Wisconsin high school basketball not being what it normally would for Graham’s senior season, it made sense for him to make the leap and reclassify.
