More on Oklahoma State transfer Justin McBride, who took a recruiting visit to Nevada this weekend. McBride is a former top-100 four-star recruit who played for Team USA at the youth level. He didn't get much playing time with the Cowboys as a freshman. nevadasportsnet.com/news/reporters…

Happy Sunday! The Mountain West had just two players picked in the NFL draft. And Nevada softball is a win over SDSU in today’s conference finale shy of putting itself in prime position for at least a share of the MW title. I’ll take your Monday Mailbag questions now. Fire away!

Oklahoma State transfer Justin McBride, a 6-foot-8 forward, visiting Nevada this weekend. The former four-star recruit averaged 2.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in 6.5 minutes per game as a freshman last season.

Tyra Clary and Chelie Senini were best friends growing up who couldn't sleep on overnight travel ball events unless they were holding hands.

While their high school and initial college journeys separated them, they've become best friends again at Nevada. nevadasportsnet.com/sports/wolf-pa…

Chuck Bailey III, a Missouri Valley Conference all-freshman honoree last year at Evansville, commits to Nevada. He is the fourth Division I transfer addition for the Wolf Pack, which has one remaining scholarship. nevadasportsnet.com/news/reporters…

Nevada men’s golf is tied for third after the first round of the Mountain West Championships, three strokes behind leader San Diego State. Nevada’s Jonathan Kim is tied for third individually at 4 under, one stroke back of the leaders.

Each month this season, we'll have a 30-minute Reno Aces show titled 'Aces All-In.'

April's show includes features on Andrew Saalfrank and Lambo the bat dog; a walk-and-talk with Aces manager Blake Lalli; and the art of hitting with coach Travis Denker. nevadasportsnet.com/features/aces-…

A strong football background helps drive Blake Walston's quest to reach the big leagues. The Aces' lefty spent all of 2023 in Reno as a 21-year-old and is one step away from joining his minor-league friends in the majors. nevadasportsnet.com/sports/reno-ac…
