Tomislav Buljan, a 23-year-old forward from Split, Croatia, has announced his entry into the NCAA transfer portal, concluding his time at the University of New Mexico (UNM). During the 2022-2023 season, Buljan made a significant impact, averaging 13.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game, while shooting 54.0% from the field. His rebounding prowess was highlighted by his ranking as the sixth-best offensive rebounder in the nation, averaging 4.03 offensive rebounds per game. Buljan earned second-team All-Mountain West honors and was one of only 14 players nationwide to average a double-double. In his heartfelt announcement on Instagram, he expressed gratitude to the coaching staff, teammates, and fans for their support during his time at UNM.
