Terrance Arceneaux granted hardship waiver for 2023-2024 season

Houston Cougars guard Terrance Arceneaux was granted a hardship waiver by the NCAA after missing most of last year with an achilles injury.

Big news for Kelvin Sampson and the Houston Cougars basketball team as shooting guard Terrance Arceneaux was granted an NCAA hardship waiver for the 2023-2024 season.

He will now compete as a sophomore this year, and still has three years left of eligibility. Arceneaux suffered an Achilles injury last season. Before his injury, he played just 11 games for the Cougars.

His freshman season was a productive one. He was named to the All-Freshman team in the AAC. He started in the conference title game after the Cougars lost Marcus Sasser. Arceneaux scored nine points in the game.

During that season, he played just shy of 14 minutes per game and averaged 3.7 points. Arceneaux came to Houston out of Beaumont Texas. He led his high school team to a Class 5A state title. During that season he scored 15.1 points per game.

He chose Houston over schools such as Oklahoma, Texas A&M and UNLV.  The Cougars are once again going to be very good under Sampson’s leadership. One of the most talented players in the league returns for the Cougars in LJ Cryer, out of Katy Texas.

The Cougars will start their 2024-2025 season against Jackson State on November 4th. The Cougars will then play in The BattleGround 2k24 at the Toyota Center against the Auburn Tigers on November 9th.

Big-time players make big-time plays in big-time games. Terrance Arceneaux lived up to that billing and then some Friday night, hitting two buzzer-beaters to help Beaumont United win its first boys basketball state championship.

Arceneaux drained buzzer-beaters at the end of regulation and overtime, leading Beaumont United to a 71-70 victory over Kimball High School to claim the Texas Class 5A title. The 6-foot-7 junior first hit a three as time expired in regulation to tie the score at 64 and send the game into overtime.

He then followed up his regulation heroics with another three at the buzzer in overtime, this one giving Beaumont United the win and state championship.

Arceneaux, who finished with 24 points, nine blocked shots and seven rebounds earned game MVP honors. According to 247Sports, he is currently the No. 111 recruit in the class of 2022 and boasts offers from Houston, Lamar, LSU, Old Dominion, Oral Roberts, Rice, TCU and Texas A&M.

“Arceneaux is an explosive athlete with a wiry build,” 247Sports’ Brandon Jenkins said in his scouting report of Arceneaux. “He is a long and rangy prospect who gets off his feet to rise up in a hurry and already has a history of dunking on people. He stands out on the defensive end with excellent length combined with good bounce and fluid strides.

“Each time he laces them up, Arceneaux is bound to get his fair share of deflections and blocks. His best basketball is ahead of him if he continues to improve his jump shot and ability to play off a live dribble in the half-court.”
