The off-season has not been kind to Houston.
Guards Corey Davis Jr. and Galen Robinson have graduated, taking with them a third of the Cougars’ offense. Junior guard Armoni Brooks, with his sights set on the pros, is foregoing his senior year and leaving his name in June’s NBA draft.
While Davis and Robinson’s departures were expected, Brooks’ was not. UH, however, is not out for the count, despite the unexpected gap left on the team.
For one, the Cougars still have Kelvin Sampson as their head coach. The reigning American Athletic Conference Coach of the Year is a large part of Houston’s recent resurgence into relevancy.
