Hours before Game 1 of the Richard Pitino era tipped off on Wednesday night in the Pit, the roster for the 2022-23 University of New Mexico men’s basketball team officially added three names.
All three Class of 2022 prep recruits who gave verbal commitments over the summer to play for Pitino and the Lobos signed their binding National Letters of Intent on Wednesday, the first day of the NCAA’s early signing period for most sports.
The Lobos landed two guards — 6-foot-2 Donovan Dent from Corona, California, and 6-7 Braden Appelhans from Blue Springs, Missouri — and one forward in 6-6 Quinton Webb from San Bernardino, California.
