Houston coach Kelvin Sampson says he was on a recent call with several members of an NBA team asking about all four of the Cougars' draft-eligible players.
"There's interest out there in all those guys," Sampson said.
We have an intern from UH . . . first time ever.
My fellow UH North Texas residents - if you have an opportunity to help a UH student’s career please do what you can to do so. My one wish outside of a national championship is for UH alums to be better in this department.
New federal data shows UH grads are earning more than the national average, with the Cullen College of Engineering leading the way. 🎓
The top five highest-earning majors for UH bachelor’s graduates all come from Cullen, proof that Coogs launch strong careers from day one.
Houston officially enters the hunt for 2027 four-star PG @Joneswrld9 out of Beaumont United. One of the fastest-rising guards in Texas, Jones brings the toughness, pace, and downhill scoring ability that feels tailor-made for Kelvin Sampson’s system.

NEW: Houston basketball head coach Kelvin Sampson urges fans for more NIL support:
"If you want Coach (Willie Fritz) to win at the level that LSU does — you know the difference financially between Houston and LSU? It's not a bridge. It's the Grand Canyon. Yet because of a guy like Coach Fritz, we're competitive."

Emanuel Sharp is the kind of guard NBA teams will argue about on draft night and then try to reframe later.
You’re watching playoff rotations right now built on this archetype — shooting, creation, and defense that holds up 👀
It will come down to who believes in it.
Houston’s Emanuel Sharp finished as the leading scorer for his team in the first scrimmage of the day at the NBA Combine (17 points).
Knocked down some threes, played hard-nosed defense, and even had a nice slam in transition.
Emmanuel Sharp is the most obvious late pick steal of this draft class.
Houston guard, insanely tough, good defender, sniper with deep range, amazing character.
Kelvin Sampson with an impassioned call for University of Houston pride at crowded Coaches' Caravan event in Sugar Land: "I don't know about this commuter school bullshit... We're the University of Houston. We're the University of Houston. Don't you take a backseat to nobody.
"Don't talk to me about U of T. Or Texas A&M. We just played Texas A&M, right. How'd that go?
". . . We have respect for everybody in this state. We have respect for everybody in this conference. But we don't take a backseat to nobody. And neither should you.
"Quit acting like these teams are up here. No, they're not. You're up here. Start acting like it. Start supporting this program."
EXCITED to welcome point guard Tyus Thomas @0Tyus to our program!
Will compete as a freshman in 2026-27
