No. He is scheduled to graduate. Keep in mind, before Weir left, NMSU's was bloated with 18 players and only Baker as a senior. I think Weir's plans was to see Taylor, Bhullar, Pennie and possibly Wilkins graduate early making room for his four-plus new signees. Also, Weir ushered Chance Ellis out the door as well. To date, besides the signees who were released, the only real unforeseen loss has been Huggins. If Weir had stayed, NMSU would have added Harris, McCants, Figueroa, Robinson, Simmons, and Hadley. And, lose Baker, Taylor, Bhullar, Ellis, and Pennie.
The losses were expected. Although I was hoping Pennie would have stayed since the door had opened with Huggins, Simmons, and probably Figueroa gone. Oh well.
Jens will now need to fill three scholarships...
1. Harris - projected starter
2. Ndir - projected starter
3. Hadley
4. Miles
5. J. Jones - projected starter
6. McCants
7. M. Jones
8. Chuha - projected starter
9. Wilkins - projected starter
10. Gnahore
As one can see NMSU still has a competitive starting line up but the bench is depleted.
