Redshirt sophomore guard Terrance Arceneaux announced he would enter the transfer portal on Thursday, per his social media.
“Playing at the University of Houston has been part of my story that I’ll always carry with me,” he wrote. “ I’m thankful for the experience, the teammates who turned into family, the fans who supported us win and loss and the coaches who challenged me to grow both on and off the court and shaped me into who I am today.”
This season, the 6-foot-6 Beaumont, Texas native appeared in all 40 games and started in six. He averaged 6.5 points and 2.7 rebounds per game with an average of 20 minutes of play.
He returned to the floor after suffering an Achilles injury during the 2023-24 season that sidelined him after just eleven games and granted him a medical redshirt.
Arceneaux became just the fourth player in the top 10 rotation of any Cougar team during the Kelvin Sampson era to enter the transfer portal, joining Caleb Mills, Tramon Mark and Damian Dunn.
“I am walking away with no bitterness, just growth, gratitude and a clear vision for where I’m headed next,” he wrote. “Sometimes the path to purpose requires a pivot, and I’m trusting the process.”
The world is full of people who should have momma wash their mouth with soap. Emanuel is a fine man but he has know who is on his side. All us COOGS are with him, the rest can go fly a kite. In all rest of his long career there will be people who hate and those who love. Just embrace the good and forget the bad. Go COOGS
The Houston Men Basketball Team Had a Great Year, I am so Proud to be from Third Ward TX . Who’s House Coog’s House. Can not wait until Next Year go UofH
What a great season! These young men, such character, determination and grit are the epitome of college sports. Kelvin knows how to pick them. The seniors will learn from these experiences and become productive members of our society and I look forward to your future.
Next year’s team will be just as exciting to watch, I’m sure. It will be led by Emmanuel Sharp our sharp shooter and I feel real good about that. Emmanuel you are a very special person and player, and I couldn’t be more proud of you
Go coogs!
