Here is the guy the WAC didn't get to see this season. He was averaging nearly 14 points per game, and shooting 49% from the field. He was probably our best player at the time of his injury.
The fact NMSU was still successful losing this All-WAC performer tells you how loaded this squad was this season.
When Ndir went down to injury, he was our leading scorer. NMSU had a very balanced scoring attack back then. He was a starter with Baker and Huggins. But he was the utility guy who took over the point when Baker needed a rest.

Sidy has been injury prone the last two season. First a severe ankle sprain as a freshman then a torn ligament in his foot this season. I am not sure if it is his aggressive style that causes him to get injured or just bad luck but it does concern me that he can't seem to stay healthy.
I hope he makes a full recovery and becomes the player he was well on his way to being this season. I do think Weir will need to hedge his bets by getting other guards ready to play... LJ Figueroa, Chance Ellis, Gabe Hadley
Not only was he our leading scorer but I felt he was our best overall player. He was our biggest threat for other teams on offense as he can cut/slash, hit mid and long range and has unbelievable explosiveness and speed.

The injury this year came when blocking a shot vs Air Force. It was a freak accident. He landed on his foot wrong. You can actually see the clip he hurt his foot on the Air Force highlights. I wouldn't say he is injury prone, just a little bad luck. I think he'll have a great year next season. Will be one of the top guards in the WAC.
I 2nd the fact that Sidy may be injury prone. I think the upgrade to talent may be across the board for all WAC teams. I like the 6'10 big man GCU signed from Italy. Ciao Bella!
