Texas freshman Jaxson Hayes has not made a decision whether he’ll enter the NBA Draft yet.

He will discuss his future with his parents, as well as the Longhorns coaching staff, “soon.”

But Hayes made it clear he feels he’s ready to play at the next level if he chooses that route.

“I feel like if I were to make the jump, I feel like I’d be good,” Hayes said after Texas won the NIT championship on Thursday night.
