The University of New Mexico basketball program was shut down last week, with Jake Hall, the Mountain West Freshman of the Year and leading scorer last season, returning to the team for their sophomore campaigns. Hall, who had entered the transfer portal, had been expected to be the latest overlooked and under-recruited Lobo star to be recruited by top college basketball programs. However, after a Facetime call with UNM coach Eric Olen, Hall changed his mind and announced his intention to return to play another season with the Lobos. Hall cited better TV exposure, better competition, and an easier path to deep NCAA Tournament run as reasons for his decision to stay in Albuquerque. The decision was part of a larger issue in the NCAA's roster management calendar, as colleges across the world are dealing with roster management during roster portal season and are also dealing with players' decisions to enter the NBA Draft.
