Houston guard Quentin Grimes announced Friday that he is hiring an agent and will declare for the NBA draft.
Grimes was one of three players who averaged double figures for the Cougars and led Houston to its first NCAA Final Four appearance since 1984.
The 6' 5" guard posted on Instagram about his decision.
"Playing in the NBA has been a life-long dream of mine," Grimes said. "It's been an honor for a hometown kid to be able to wear the "Houston" jersey across my chest for the past two years.
"To Coach Sampson and Coach Q, thank you for always pushing me, holding me accountable and always challenging me to be the best version of myself – both on and off the court.
