In a tweet posted on Monday afternoon, Huell said he arrived at his decision after meeting with Miami Hurricanes coaches and his family. Huell becomes the second Miami player to declare early for the draft after Bruce Brown did the same last month. Brown also left open a window to return by not signing with an agent.
Huell improved significantly over his Freshman season. He averaged 11.4 points per game and 6.7 rebounds per game. That was an improvement over 5.8 and 3.1 last season. Huell’s numbers went down after Brown missed the last 13 games of the season following foot surgery.
