PORTLAND, Ore. – Cory Coombe, in his first season as head coach of the Lewis & Clark College men's basketball team, announced an incoming class of six first-year players and four transfers for the 2026-27 season.
"We are very excited about the class that we brought in, and our staff did an amazing job finding us high-character individuals who can also play it at a very high level," Coombe said. "We feel like we nailed the right combination of high-potential freshmen who can impact right away and game-ready transfers who have proven themselves at the college level.
"All 10 of these guys are even better people than they are players and are exactly what we need to lay the foundation of our culture. The future is bright."
