6'8", 235#. Played two years at Elon, where he started all 32 games his second year. Transferred to LMU, where he started 12 of 62 games he played in. Played about 15 min/g, scored about 4 ppg.

Moving on to make room for Romar's recruits & transfers?

LMU continues replacing their assistant coaches.

Not from the portal, but:

Aaron Burin @FullTimeHoops1 wrote:6-8 2024 Carlsbad F Jael Martin had committed to LMU, per his Instagram. Martin was originally signed to Pepperdine, but reopened his recruitment when the Waves parted ways with HC Lorenzo Romar, who joined the Lions staff.

Big pick up for the Lions...

San Jose State transfer Myron Amey has committed to LMU.

The 6-2 junior guard started 32/32 games, averaging 15.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.6 steals.

And he shot 46% from 2, and 36% from 3 (71/196).

Some good recruiting going on in L.A.; apparently, Romar still has the magic.

Jevon Porter has followed Romar from PU to LMU.
Per Verbal Commits.

The 6-4 junior and former 4 shot nearly 45% from 3 this season (third-highest percentage in NCAA) while leading the Lions in scoring (14.3 PPG + 3.3 RPG).

Harris missed the last two games against UP with injury.

Harris left Gonzaga to be closer to home at LMU, and now he'll be even closer to home at UCLA.  

Harris says this of himself: "Being one of the best 3-point shooters in the country and establishing myself as a great defender. Coach Cronin has a great plan to showcase me as the best 3 and D guard in CBB. I can't wait to come in and use my experiences from Gonzaga/LMU to lead this group!"

Humble guy.

Particularly sad given his brother Coban pled guilty earlier this year after killing a 42-year-old woman while drinking and driving.

After two years at Stanford, transferred to LMU, to only appear in 5 games.
