[Update 3/22]: Cunningham clarified on Monday evening that he is coming back to play for Texas.
Not long after the Texas Longhorns were eliminated from the NCAA Tournament by the Purdue Boilermakers in Milwaukee, junior guard Brock Cunningham posted an apparent farewell message that spoke of his time playing for Texas in the past tense.
So it seems that the 6’6, 210-pounder is ready to move on from basketball despite having two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Cunningham’s father, Ed, played football at Texas in the 1980s and Cunningham grew up in Westlake, where he starred for the Chapparals for three seasons before signing with the Longhorns as a member of the 2018 recruiting class, choosing Texas over eight other offers, including Gonzaga and Oklahoma.
