ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Head Lobo men's basketball coach Paul Weir has announced the signing of Makuach Maluach, a 6-foot-5 guard/forward from Sydney, Australia. Maluach will come to the University of New Mexico as a freshman with four years of eligibility remaining.

Maluach played his prep ball at Newington College in Stanmore, NSW, Australia for head coach Rex Nottage. Maluach was a member of the Australian Junior National team having competed in the FIBA U18 Oceania Championships.

"Makuach is a perfect fit for our system with his speed and shooting ability," said Weir. "We have been very selective with our remaining scholarships in search of difference makers and feel as though he is one of those type of talents.
