CHATTANOOGA---The Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball program has been on quite a run the past few seasons. That shines brightly under the light of the last two alone.
 
Forty-eight wins, a Southern Conference Championship and trip to the 2016 NCAA Tournament is impressive. Even more so is seven student-athletes off the last two squads graduated and signing professional contracts.
 
That's seven rotational players. Add an eighth who's played for a national team and it's pretty impressive.
 
"It's impressive at any level," Coach Lamont Paris shared. "There's a rich history here, which is one of the things that made this job so attractive to me.
 
"Student-athletes know they can come here, get a great education, win and move on to a great career. It speaks for itself."
 
Two, Eric Robertson '16 and Dee Oldham '16, played last year in Great Britain and Australia, respectively. They led both their teams to league titles with Oldham earning MVP honors in the Premier League down under.
 
Alex Bran '16 also completed eligibility in 2016. He's suited up with the Guatemalan National Team in international play.
 
That brings us to the 2016-17 edition. All five starters from a year ago signed overseas. The list:

That doesn't include the long line of Mocs over the last 10 years still playing all over the world. Names like Nicchaeus Doaks (Japan), Kevin Bridgewaters (Tunisia), Keyron Sheard (Venezuela) and Keddric Mays (Italy).
 
The Mocs are currently working toward the start of the 2017-18 campaign. Practice begins on October 2 with the first look at the new edition coming on Saturday, November 4, in an exhibition game against Francis Marion.
