New Mexico offers 2026 California power forward
In the nearly two months since New Mexico head coach Eric Olen and staff have been in charge, they’ve rebuilt the Lobos roster by adding 13 names to next season’s team.
With the summer recruiting circuit getting underway, Olen and staff have begun looking at their next targets in the high school class beginning with 2026 names. A rising senior now on New Mexico’s radar is forward Trevon Carter-Givens. Playing for Team WhyNot in front of college coaches during the May viewing period, Carter-Givens averaged eight points and seven rebounds per game while helping his team to a 3-0 record.
Following the weekend, his recruitment continued to expand with offers from Creighton, TCU and New Mexico coming in. This followed offers from Florida State, Seton Hall, UNLV and San Francisco in April.
Carter-Givens played his first two high school seasons at Templeton High School in California’s Central Coast, a school with less than 800 enrolled. He made the move to Southern California Academy prior to his junior season, pairing up with a team that is primarily made up of top recruits. He’s settled into his role as a big man and continues to show off his improvements over the past year.
Eric Olen’s initial roster at New Mexico is heavy with players plucked from the transfer portal, as has become a normal procedure across the country, even more so in the case of a new head coach left with virtually nothing on the roster. The Lobos have signed three high school recruits for 2025, Uriah Tenette, Jake Hall and Sir Marius Jones. Tenette and Hall were previously signed with play for Olen at UC San Diego while Jones was headed for UC Irvine but is following assistant coach Michael Wilder to Albuquerque.
Eight of New Mexico’s commitments over the past two months have come from the transfer portal with Chris Howell and Milos Vincentic, starting the run of commitments while following Olen and staff over from UC San Diego. New Mexico’s other two commitments have come from different paths. Forward Antonio Chol averaged 20 points and eight rebounds per game this past season at Garden City Community College after starting his career at Rutgers. New Mexico’s newest commitment, Tomislav Buljan, comes to the college game after several professional seasons in Europe. The 6-foot-8, 22-year-old Buljan is a native of Croatia and has four seasons of eligibility.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife rereleased a wolf into Grand County this week after it had traveled into New Mexico, according to a news release.
The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish captured gray wolf 2403 and returned the animal to Colorado.
Colorado wildlife officials decided to release the wolf in Grand County yesterday because of the proximity to “an unpaired female gray wolf,” nearby prey populations and distance from livestock, according to the release.
“Gray wolf 2403 has been returned to Colorado and released in a location where it can best contribute to CPW’s efforts to establish a self-sustaining wolf population while concurrently attempting to minimize potential wolf-related livestock conflicts,” said acting director of CPW Laura Clellan, according to the release.
The wolf was once a member of the Copper Creek pack but departed from it this fall.
A memorandum of understanding between Colorado and Arizona, New Mexico and Utah requires that any gray wolves that leave Colorado and enter those states be returned. That was created in part to maintain the integrity of a Mexican wolf recovery program.
“We recognized during the planning process that we would need to have consideration and plans to protect the genetic integrity of the Mexican wolf recovery program, while also establishing a gray wolf population in Colorado,” said CPW’s Wolf Conservation Program Manager Eric Odell, according to the release.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A judge sentenced a New Mexico man to nearly 20 years in prison for distributing meth and having guns in his possession to use while doing so.
Court records indicate 43-year-old David Amaya sold meth from a trailer on his parents’ property in Anthony throughout July and August 2024. Agents executed a search warrant Aug. 22 and found 1.18 kilograms of meth, two firearms and ammunition in the trailer and a makeshift bathroom.
Amaya pleaded guilty to possession of meth with intent to distribute it. A judge sentenced him to 235 months in prison.
Once he is out, Amaya will face five years of supervised release.
The FBI’s Albuquerque Field Office and the Las Cruces Metro Narcotics Task Force investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Williams prosecuted it.
