Jamal Shead is returning to Houston
HOUSTON, Texas -- Houston will return to the basketball season in a new conference this season but not with new faces.
On Wednesday, Jamal Shead announced he withdrew his name from the 2023 NBA Draft and will return to play for his senior season.
Shead, who's from Manor, Texas, which is outside of Austin, arrived at UH as a four-star recruit, choosing the Coogs over Texas A&M, among other schools.
Back in the 2022-23 college basketball season, Jamal Shead averaged 10.5 points, 5.4 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game. He shot just 41.5 percent from the field and only 29.0 percent from behind the arc. Giving it another go with Houston basketball offers Shead an opportunity to further work on his shooting accuracy to also improve his future NBA Draft stock.
