Two Lobos are leaving but the future of the University of New Mexico men’s basketball program looks promising after a turnaround season that nearly yielded an NCAA Tournament bid.
On Tuesday, UNM announced in a news release that forward Connor MacDougall and guard Jachai Simmons plan to transfer to other schools. Both have been granted their release by UNM Coach Paul Weir, the release stated.
MacDougall, who played one season with the Lobos after transferring from Arizona State, plans to graduate from UNM in May. He will have one year of eligibility remaining and will be eligible to play immediately as a grad transfer.
