Jaelen House will call the Pit home for another season.
As the team expected, the 6-foot point guard on Wednesday filed his paperwork with the NCAA to withdraw his name from NBA Draft eligibility, meaning he’s coming back for at least one more season to play with the UNM Lobos.
The senior who was voted an All-Mountain West player this past season by league media and coaches, could have two seasons remaining to play if he chooses to utilize an extra year of eligibility due to COVID-19.
He and the other 283 early entrants who filed formal paperwork with the NCAA in the spring to enter the NBA Draft — most of whom, like House, did so in order to get NBA feedback on their games, not with the intent of actually leaving school — had until midnight ET on Wednesday to pull their names out of the process or lose eligibility for the coming season.
