Squire is currently working into the rotation as he awaits his official UNH debut.

• Jeremiah Faumuina | 6-5 Guard (Oakland, CA / Overtime Elite)

A 6-foot-5 freshman guard hailing from Oakland, California, by way of Overtime Elite in Atlanta, Georgia, Faumuina has logged three minutes of action across the first three games as he adjusts to the college game.

• Nick Sangermano | 6-5 Guard (Salem, NH / Loomis Chaffee)

A local 6-foot-5 freshman guard from Salem, New Hampshire, who prepped at Loomis Chaffee, Sangermano adds depth to the Wildcats’ backcourt as he competes for his first regular-season collegiate minutes.

• Kaleb Myers | 6-8 Forward (St. Thomas University)

The 6-foot-8 transfer forward arrives from St. Thomas University. Myers has logged 10 total minutes in three games, pulling down one rebound as he competes for frontcourt rotation snaps.
