UNH Adds Transfer

New England Recruiting Report | Saturday, June 11th, 2011

The University of New Hampshire has landed a commitment from Chris Pelcher, a six-foot-ten two-hundred-and-forty pound transfer from Iona. 

Pelcher appeared in 35 games this season for Iona, helping the team to a 25-12 record while shooting .603 from the floor. 

Prior to arriving at Iona, Pelcher was the No. 45 prospect at the center position and one of the Top 300 recruits in the nation according to ESPNU's basketball recruiting website. He posted 19.6 points per game as a senior at Albany Academy, leading the Cadets to a 22-2 record along with a berth in the NYSPHSAA Section II Class AA championship game and a No. 17 ranking in New York State Class AA. Along the way he collected All-League, All-Section II and NYSSWA Class AA All-State Fifth Team honors.

The Wildcats add Pelcher to a recruiting class that already featured Garrett Jones (Chicago, Ill.), walk-on Tommy McDonnell (Durham, N.H.) and Jeron Trotman (Huntsville, Ala.).
