Lobos look ‘Inland’ once again for latest hoops recruit

Maps tell us Southern California’s “Inland Empire” region doesn’t reach New Mexico.

Lobo basketball plans to bring it to the Pit next year anyway.

Donovan Dent, a 6-foot-2 senior guard at Corona (Calif.) Centennial High School, announced via social media on Wednesday evening he has committed to play for the University of New Mexico Lobos, becoming the third player in as many weeks to commit to coach Richard Pitino’s Class of 2022.

“The thing that excites me the most with coach Pitino is that he is a winner and I come from a winning program at Centennial,” Dent told the Journal on Wednesday night about his decision.
