Texas Basketball: Tyrese Hunter’s return adds punch to starting backcourt

As was expected a few weeks ago, we got the word in mid-May regarding the decision of rising junior Texas basketball guard Tyrese Hunter in terms of whether he would stay in the 2023 NBA Draft pool. There is an early June deadline for players to withdraw their names from the NBA Draft if they were able to maintain their collegiate eligibility when they originally declared early.

On May 18, the announcement came that Hunter would be returning to Texas for his junior season. The third-year guard Hunter is withdrawing his name from the 2023 NBA Draft a couple of weeks ahead of the June deadline.
