Richard Pitino has signed his first recruit for the 2023 recruiting class.

As was expected since he announced his commitment to the UNM Lobos in mid-September, 6-foot-9 forward Jadyn Toppin, a senior from Dallas who plays for Faith Family Academy in Oak Cliff, Texas, signed on Wednesday his National Letter of Intent to play for the Lobos next season.

“We are excited about the addition of Jadyn Toppin,” Richard Pitino said in a release on Wednesday afternoon. “I think he is a really skilled big man who is very versatile and plays extremely hard. He comes from a very well-coached program and he will be a great addition in the locker room, in the community, in the classroom and on our basketball team.
