Former UNM Lobo basketball player Saquan Singleton on Saturday committed to transfer to George Mason of the Atlantic 10.
Singleton, who said he’s still on pace to graduate from UNM on May 14 and will start at George Mason by midsummer, told the Journal he had a strong connection with George Mason coach Kim English throughout the recruitment.
“George Mason is a great school,” he said. “(The) coaches and players treated me like family since they started recruiting me.”
After arriving at UNM ahead of a 2020-21 season the team played entirely outside the state of New Mexico, Singleton was voted a co-captain this past season before a bout with COVID led to inflammation of the heart that prevented him from starting the season with his teammates.
