Last year, the University of New Mexico men's basketball team saw a multitude of players announce their intentions to leave the program before a new head coach took the reins and coaxed some of them into staying put.
And while head coach Paul Weir has seemed to bring stability to what looked like a shaky program, a release said a pair of players were recently granted their release to pursue other opportunities.
Senior forward Connor MacDougall didn't see any action during the past season after he suffered a foot injury during an exhibition game against former rival Brigham Young University.
