In transfer portal world, Lobos still hitting big with high school recruits

Get old and stay old.

The transfer portal world has brought with it a new cliché for college basketball coaches to lean on, replacing old standbys like “we’re going to play with great pace” or “we’re going to do things the right way.”

The new go-to refers to the transfer portal where players are allowed to move more freely from school to school. It also moves coaches to recruit older players who have already shown their ability at the college level rather than develop a younger player over the course of a couple seasons into one who can help a team win games.
