Colorado basketball adds depth piece amid major roster rebuild

Colorado basketball added a relatively unknown 6-foot-5 guard to its 2026 recruiting class, filling out another roster spot.

Colorado basketball is making moves during the 2026 offseason, quietly but steadily rebuilding a roster that lost three of its top four rotation players. Head coach Tad Boyle has been busy filling gaps, and while the additions might not make national headlines, they're addressing key needs.

This weekend, Boyle secured a late commitment from 6-foot-5 guard Luke Mirhashemi, a relatively unknown prospect from Newport Beach, California. Mirhashemi isn't ranked on major recruiting services and hasn't publicly announced other offers, but that hasn't stopped him from earning high praise. University of Wisconsin-Green Bay head coach Doug Gottlieb took to social media to celebrate the signing, calling Mirhashemi a "stud kid who is a 10 as a person!"—a strong endorsement for a player flying under the radar.

Given his under-the-radar profile, Mirhashemi appears to be a candidate for a redshirt season in Boulder, likely not seeing heavy minutes during the 2026-27 campaign. That leaves Boyle with three remaining roster spots to fill with players ready to contribute immediately.

Mirhashemi joins a 2026 recruiting class that already includes four-star forward Rider Portela and Australian talents Alex Dickeson and Goc Malual. For a program in the midst of a major roster overhaul, these additions represent a mix of long-term development and immediate depth—a classic Boyle approach to building sustainable success.
