With the return of 6'4, 200-lbs, Clayton Henry and the additions of JUCO 6'5, 190-lbs, Jason King and D1 transfer 6'6 215-lbs Marcus Watson NMSU should be much more physically imposing on the perimeter. Our three point shooting "might" be in question but NMSU should be even tougher defensively next season.

Although... Henry, Rice, Gilyard and hopefully Williams will bring the three point shot from the guard position next year. Not to mention McCants and Likayi who are big men who can shoot it from behind the arc as well.

With next season's team, Jans will bring the "physical intimidation" our team has been lacking since he shrunk our line up after Menzies teams. WAC fans respect what Jans has done. He has proven to be an exceptional coach. Even with smaller, quicker line ups. However, since Menzies left and our teams have gotten "smaller" in stature, the WAC fans of other schools haven't really seen NMSU as a physically imposing any longer. They use to be in awe of NMSU size and athleticism; like when NMSU rolled into town with players such as Sim Bhullar (7'5, 360), Tanveer Bhullar (7'2, 335), Chili Nephawe (6'10, 268), Renaldo Dixon (6'10, 215), Pascal Siakam (6'9, 230), Bandja Sy (6'8, 215), Remi Barry (6'8, 225), and Tyrone Watson (6'5, 225). These days, Coach Jans sideline coaching intimates the fans or other WAC programs more than our actual Aggie players. I suspect next season, that will change. Our players will be as intimidating as our coach (god willing Jans remains our coach for the foreseeable future).
