Texas F Jericho Sims signs with an agent
David Banks-USA TODAY Sports Texas Longhorns forward Jericho Sims signed with an agent on Wednesday, officially ending his college career, Klutch Sports announced.
Always likely to turn professional instead of returning for a fifth season on the Forty Acres, Sims performed well at the NBA Combine last week, boosting his draft stock, after the odds of Sims returning decreased recently when Texas landed a commitment from UMass transfer Tre Mitchell.
Sims posted a 44.5-inch vertical with a 7’3 wingspan after impressing during individual workouts, then carried that success over into scrimmages with his ability as a rim runner who can finish with authority and as a strong and active defender.
