Former Texas basketball player Brock Cunningham signs with Belgium team
It may not be Down Under, but Belgium will certainly do for former Texas basketball player Brock Cunningham.
The 25-year-old Cunningham, who ended his five-year career at Texas this past season, signed a contract with Belgium basketball team Mons-Hainut on Friday. Terms were undisclosed but the club did say Cunningham signed a one-year contract for the 2024-25 season with a reciprocal option for the 2025-26 season.

Cunningham, the free-spirited fan favorite from Austin native who graduated from Westlake High School, told the American-Statesman this past spring that he intended to play overseas, ideally in Australia. But the 6-foot-6 forward’s rugged style of play should fit in well at Mons-Hainut, which competes in Belgium’s top division of professional basketball.

In a press release, Mons-Hainut coach Vedran Bosnic said Cunningham’s ability to guard multiple positions as well as shoot from long distance will make for a good fit in Belgium.
“Brock is a player who can open the game with his good outside shot and he can defend in several positions,” Bosnic said. “He already has his experience at the high university level and is very motivated to give the best of himself for our team. I see in him a player capable of growing up with more responsibilities on the (court)”
Cunningham ended a Texas career that began with a redshirt season in 2018-19 as the program’s all-time leader in wins with 110. He also appeared in 147 games, another program record. He averaged just 3.2 and three rebounds in 16.2 minutes a game for his career but proved a key piece of the Longhorns’ rotation over the past two seasons, when Texas won four NCAA Tournament games.
