As Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl predicted when Philip Jurick left his program, the 6-foot-10 former East Ridge High School star has landed at Chattanooga State.

In a conversation Thursday at the local community college, Jurick said he expected he would get some playing time for the Volunteers this coming season but not as much as he felt he needed after redshirting last year. He plans to play a season for the Tigers and coach Jay Price and then move on again.
