I just noticed no Aggie men made the All Defensive team!

Is anyone surprised?
The last Aggie to make all defense was Fred Peete during the Reggie years and that was a long time ago.

Marvin can't coach and should go to the YMCA to learn how to play defense!

I think the Men's ALL WAC second team is better than the first team. What do you all think?

Damn, why are there 4 guards on the 2nd team?

Iam sorry but Hamidu Rahman was just as if not more of an effective player this season than Wendell and deserves to get some awards too. The numbers speak for themself. Wendell has more assist but Hamidu had more blocks. other than that pertty close numbers cross the board.

He was a force in the paint! I think he was the best true 5 in the leauge, I am sick of marvin down playing big fellas play when he has a great game. Marve didnt push for his big guy.

If you think iam just talking ish then look at the game last night. When they stoped gettin Rahman the ball they started to lose control of the game. If you didnt get paid you would stop working too!

All i have to say is that Hamidu is legit!!

Anon. 3:53 mentioned that no Aggies were on the All Defensive team.

I would rather have players on the ALL "D" team rather than offensively.
What's more disturbing is that no player during the Menzies era has been all Defense!!!

Menzies gives us all this blah, blah, blah, talk about defense but, although we can't see the defense, it doesn't mean we are blind!

Is it FB season yet?

The bloggers on this site show they do not know what they are talking about. Fred Peete was all WAC Defensive team for two years - 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. That is one year under Reggie and one year under Marvin, neither of whom are touted as defensive coaches. Peete was just a good defensive player despite the offensive emphasis.

Fred Peete was a defensive All WAC that Reggie brought in from Kansas St. because he was a ball hawk. He led the Big XII in steals his Sophomore.
His recruitment did not happen by accident as most succesfull teams need a defensive stopper.

Has Menzies brought in anyone that can play defense?

Menzies has no clue about defense thus, doesn't know how to recruit defensive players.
I rest my case. Menzies still sucks w/ or w/o Fred Peete having his back!

Oh sure. Nowhere is it mentioned that five NMSU basketball players made all-conference No Defense First Team.

How's that for slipshod reporting.
