In his latest column for the Nevada Sports Net, Chris Murray discusses the unique and eclectic recruiting class for the Nevada men’s basketball team in 2025. This class includes players from NAIA, junior college, Division I transfers, and even a prep player from the pro league Overtime Elite. The diverse mix of players has made the upcoming Wolf Pack season one of the most intriguing in recent memory, with only four returning players from last season.
Murray highlights how the team’s roster reset was necessary after a disappointing 17-16 campaign, and head coach Steve Alford has been creative in putting together this class. While there is potential for things to go poorly, there is also a chance for success if the new players can adjust to the higher level of competition in the Mountain West conference.
Looking ahead, Murray points out that Nevada still needs to address 3-point shooting and find a true center to round out the roster. Despite uncertainties, the upcoming season is crucial for the Wolf Pack as major MW teams will be leaving the conference in 2026. Fans will be eager to see how this unique recruiting strategy plays out on the court when the season kicks off.
