Home away from home: Emanuel Sharp commits to UH

Though currently residing nearly 1,000 miles from Houston, Emanuel Sharp already considers the Bayou City his home.

Sharp, a 6-foot-4-inch shooting guard rated the No. 64 prospect and No. 8 shooting guard in the class of 2022 by 247Sports, announced his commitment to UH Thursday evening, marking yet another highly ranked recruit that UH has picked up during the Kelvin Sampson era.

While the four-star Bishop McLaughlin Catholic High School guard received offers from big-time basketball schools across the country including Florida, Lousiville and Texas Tech, something about the UH program stood out to him from the moment he first starting talking to Sampson and the Cougars’ coaching staff.
