Former Louisville point guard El Ellis will use his final year of college eligibility playing for Aransas.
An honorable mention All-ACC selection in 2022-23, Ellis averaged 17.7 ppg, good for third-most in the conference.
Ellis announced last month that he was entering his name into the NBA Draft, but retaining his college eligibility. He also stated that if he did return to the college game, the transfer portal would not be an option.
“I just don’t feel comfortable going to another school. I feel like Louisville is the place for me,” Ellis said. “Even through everything that’s been going on - the coaching change, the records, everything like that - I feel like if I’m going to come back and go to college again, I’m going to come back to Louisville because I didn’t finish the way I wanted to.
