I like your enthusiasm but the perimeter players you have listed have yet to play a minute together. There will be a lot of growing pains before the Aggies enter WAC play. Keep in mind, Baker, Ndir, and Huggins were together practicing and playing for two years prior to last season. You can't just plugin players and expect similar results.

Additionally, without a healthy Sidy, NMSU lost all their three point shooting from a year ago. We have what appears to be a very talented group of guards but we don't know how long it will take them to dial in from the perimeter; or if any of them are a good as perimeter shooters as Baker and Huggins. A year ago, I knew what we had with Baker, Huggins, Ndir, etc... not so much this year.

I like our team. But until we see the skills each of these new guys bring, I can't say with any confidence that we will or can win the WAC.
