🔼  Meet DT. Meet the newest member of the Lobo men’s basketball team, Daniel Thomas! He’s a 6’8 forward from Dallas Carter High School in Dallas, Texas, where he earned all-state honors. The incoming freshman earned District 13-4A Defensive Player of the Year and was a McDonalds All-America nominee. He becomes the third player in the 2024 class to sign with the Lobos.

We are excited about our addition of Daniel to our basketball program. He has the size, toughness and upside that we were looking for in a young post player. He will fit in well with our culture on and off the floor.

Coach Richard Pitino

🔼 Looking Ahead. New Mexico and VCU men’s basketball will hold a home-and-home series in 2024-25 and 2025-26! This upcoming season, they’ll play at The Pit on December 18.
