Maryland transfer James Graham III to join Missouri State basketball

James Graham III, a former highly-touted four-star prospect and transfer from Maryland, has committed to Missouri State men's basketball for the upcoming season.

Yes, you're reading this correctly — Missouri State men's basketball has landed another commitment from a transfer.

Graham made the announcement on Twitter on Saturday after a freshman season at Maryland. He entered the portal in December and the 6-foot-8, 205-pound prospect played in nine games averaging 1.3 points and 1.2 rebounds per game.

Graham was ranked as the No. 78 overall prospect by 247Sports in the 2020 class when he committed to the Terrapins over Auburn, Memphis and Wisconsin.
