Via his instagram, #HookEm guard Courtney Ramey announces he'll go through NBA Draft process, but will retain eligibility. He'll "remain fully committed to the University of Texas. Always have been." Ramey wasn't going anywhere, and makes it official.

Last season he earned third-team All-Big 12 honors, averaging 12.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.0 steals per game, while shooting 38.3% from the field, 41.4% from three-point range and 83.1% from the free throw line.
While he’ll still go through the NBA Draft process, it’s all formality and he intends to stay on the team.
With the return of Ramey and Andrew Jones, as well as Kai Jones declaring for the NBA draft, only Jehrico Sims, Matt Coleman III and Greg Brown have yet to announce their plans for the upcoming 2021-22 season.
The hiring of Chris Beard and additions from the NCAA Transfer Portal have made Texas a much improved team. Bringing back Ramey gives the team another experienced player to go with the new-look Texas basketball team.
