Texas Basketball: Royce Hamm announces transfer to UNLV

Former Texas Longhorns basketball player Royce Hamm announced his transfer to UNLV on Saturday.

On March 23, Texas’ Royce Hamm made the announcement that he was entering the NCAA transfer portal shortly after the team was knocked out of the 2021 NCAA Tournament.

Hamm has been considerably quiet since the announcement, with some wondering where he would end up next.

Hamm announced via Twitter on Saturday that he will continue his collegiate playing career at UNLV.

Hamm joins a Runnin’ Rebels team that finished 4th in the Mountain West Conference with a 12-15 record.

With his experience, as well as what looks like increased playing time, he’ll look to help the program get back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013.

Despite being used as a rotational role player, Hamm is going into a situation that not only looks like he’ll be a big key in the program re-build, but could even see time as a starter as well.
