After spending the last couple of days looking at all of the players on this year’s Lobo Men’s Basketball Team, starting with the guards and wings then looking at the bigs and walk-ons, today we’ll cover a few other things that popped into my head when I was thinking about the upcoming season…

Men’s Basketball Preview: Bigs and Walk-ons
We are now just one week away from the Lobos’ first exhibition game, and we couldn’t be more excited. Yesterday, we looked at the guards and wings on the team, so today we’ll get to know the bigs and the walk-ons. As before, we’ll have an overview of each player, along with some things that we expect to see, some things we hope to see, and their stats from the last season they played in D-1. One thing seems clear to me: this is a much-improved unit that should provide a lot more production than what the team got from the inside last season.
Men’s Basketball Preview: Guards and Wings
With basketball season just around the corner and football on a bye week, we feel like now is a perfect time to start our preview of the 2015-16 New Mexico Lobos Men’s Basketball team. Today, we’ll get to know the guards and wings on the team, with the posts and walk-ons coming tomorrow. In this preview, we’ll have an overview of each player, along with some things that we expect to see, some things we hope to see, and their stats from the last season they played in D-1. Putting this together, it’s clear that this is a team with a lot of talent and a lot of potential, so it’s a good thing that the season starts next week because I’m not sure I could wait much longer.
A Different Way of Looking at Basketball Team Strength
At last, our long national nightmare is over! Lobo Hoops is back! With tonight being the Lobo Howl, I thought that it would be fun to show some analyses that I’ve been playing around with that provide a slightly different way of measuring team strength and using that to look back at the last couple of Mountain West Conference seasons.
State of the Programs: Part 2
At long last, here is the second part of our look at the state of the various UNM Athletics programs. Previously, we looked at the programs that have been struggling recently and whose immediate goals are to be in the conversation for a conference title. This time, we’ll look at the programs that are already there and whose goals are to be relevant on a national scale. In the final installment, which we swear will happen at some point, we’ll take a look at the programs who are already competing for national titles.
Some Thoughts on Basketball Recruiting
The Recruiting Period has started for NCAA Men’s Basketball, which means coaches are able to have in-home visits and school visits for potential recruits. Recruiting can be a complicated time for coaches, players, and those that follow recruiting. While we here at Lobo Lane won’t focus on recruiting until a player is actually signed, we do still have some general thoughts about the process. So here are few things we (sometimes unsuccessfully) keep in mind while following basketball recruiting.
