‘He has no ego’: Kelvin Sampson, teammates praise Caleb Mills ahead of season

Houston’s Caleb Mills made his name known as one of the top freshmen in the country during the 2019-20 season.

As a redshirt freshman, the 6-foot 3-inch guard from Arden, North Carolina, led the Cougars in scoring with 13.2 points per game, joining Rob Williams (1979-80) as only the second freshman in school history to lead the team in scoring.

Along with being Houston’s top scorer, Mills was twice named the American Athletic Conference Freshman of the Week, was unanimously voted to the AAC’s all-freshman team and also earned a spot on the second-team all-conference.
