From Round Rock to the pros: former UH guard Armoni Brooks’ journey pursuing his dream

As the success story of McNeil High School in small town Round Rock, guard Armoni Brooks has accomplished a lot in his 22 years.

He left his fingerprints all over UH as he helped lift the Cougars to a historic Sweet 16 appearance in the March Madness tournament.

Then his journey took him even further, but it began in the city just outside of Austin.

Brooks didn’t have several big-time offers lined up before leaving high school. For him, the recruiting process was “extremely hectic.”

From the constant phone calls to the frequent meetings with strangers, Brooks at times felt overwhelmed, but he was thankful for the overall experience.
