Maybe the House party won鈥檛 be over in the Pit after this season, after all.

In fact, there鈥檚 a chance Lobos fans could get a double dose down the road.

While All-Mountain West point guard Jaelen House is, in fact, entering his final season season of college eligibility this year for the University of New Mexico men鈥檚 basketball team, Richard Pitino and crew on Monday extended scholarship offers to Kaden and Kalek House, the younger brothers of the high-energy third-year Lobo starter.

But Lobo fans will have to show some patience, if the House twins come to UNM at all.

The younger brothers are just now entering their sophomore seasons at Desert Mountain High School in Scottsdale, Arizona. But between prep ball and another strong summer in club basketball, Kaden and Kalek are sure to be two of the more highly recruited guards out west in the Class of 2026.

鈥淭hey鈥檙e better than me at that age,鈥� Jaelen House told the Journal. 鈥淣otoriety wise, they鈥檝e had a lot of notoriety already 鈥� (scholarship) offers.

鈥淚t鈥檚 cool, though. I鈥檝e seen them grow up. They used to be way smaller than me. Now, they鈥檙e both 6-3 and 6-4. It鈥檚 amazing to see how much they鈥檝e grown ... these past two years, and they鈥檝e become better basketball players, as well.鈥�

and announced their UNM scholarship offers on their individual social media accounts Monday, both writing, 鈥淏lessed to receive an offer from the University of New Mexico鈥� accompanying a Lobo logo on the left and a photo on the right of their older brother, Jaelen, screaming toward the crowd after a big play for UNM.

Basketball DNA clearly runs deep in the House house, with grandfather and former NBA and college star Henry Bibby, dad and former NBA and college star Eddie House, uncle and former NBA and college star Mike Bibby and now all-league big brother 鈥� or, more accurately, older brother 鈥� Jaelen helping guide the twins.

鈥淚鈥檓 kind of just playing the backseat, just telling them what they need to hear because I鈥檝e been through it,鈥� Jaelen said. He then pointed out the mentor he listened to most in the process doesn鈥檛 carry the same weight with the twins.

鈥淚 wouldn鈥檛 say they鈥檙e hard headed, but my dad doesn鈥檛 really (always) get through to them, so I try to get through to them. And they listen to me,鈥� Jaelen said. 鈥�... I listened to my dad. I don鈥檛 know why they are that way, but I listened to my dad.鈥�

The twins have received offers from New Mexico, Washington State and Hampton, with plenty more to come.

Jaelen House has seen his brothers plenty this summer, spending much of the past two months in Arizona with family, training regularly with them and his NBA family.

鈥淲e actually play against each other a lot,鈥� Jaelen said of his younger brothers. 鈥淪o it鈥檚 cool to go against them and just try to challenge them to become better players.鈥�

And the days of younger brothers not being able to hold their own on the court with Jaelen are long gone.

鈥淔or sure. They鈥檙e 16 years old now, so they ain鈥檛 running from nothing,鈥� Jaelen said.

SOME ADVICE: While not specifically asked in terms of what he would tell his younger brothers, Jaelen House was asked last week what he, as a fifth-year senior, would tell his younger self about what he鈥檚 learned over his interesting college career that started with two seasons at Arizona State.

鈥淓verything will be all right,鈥� Jaelen said he wishes he could have told himself entering his college career. 鈥淵ou know, I went through a really rough patch my first two years at ASU. I wasn鈥檛 playing as much, so it kind of made me feel like, 鈥楢m I even good enough to be here?鈥�

鈥淪o just stay the course and trust yourself. That鈥檚 what I would tell my freshman year self.鈥�
