Now with Mick D leaving, all you have are those nerds Paul W and Tom L in Menzies' ear telling him what to do. Yikes! Wendell is back and he now thinks he is a guard. Menzies will let him do whatever he wants and the train wreck is about to happen. Good thing is, only about 2,200 people will be in the Pan Am to view it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-85912156633355659032011-06-06T11:46:30.688-06:002011-06-06T11:46:30.688-06:00Jason,

Can't tell on the others so much. <br /><br />Thinking about the four games against our closest rivals, I think we have a good chance to win 3 of 4 or 4 of 4 games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-42435491850452755712011-06-05T15:44:41.532-06:002011-06-05T15:44:41.532-06:00amon 607.

But he's not as good a shooter as Laroche and nowhere near the athlete Burton is. <br /><br />anon 956. I think Remi Barry and Eric Weary will contribute, or at least get a chance to contribute in their first year. As I've written before, Barry could be the next 'guy' at NMSU, but I doubt it will be this year and it doesn't need to be. If Barry can contribute, he has a good group of veteran guys around him so the pressure should be off. I've heard the Ross-Miller is likely eligible for the second semester. Not sure what kind of impact that means or how many games are in the first semester before the schedule is released. Laroche needs a solid backup and Ross-Miller should be able to contribute in that role his first year. I won't say he's going to steal minutes from Laroche. Giving Laroche rest would be more accurate.Jason Groveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865320061941648252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-5832603715033052162011-06-05T12:42:39.958-06:002011-06-05T12:42:39.958-06:00I also think pane will be a 1st teamer and Utah St...I also think pane will be a 1st teamer and Utah State will finish ahead of Nevada, and probably NMSU.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-32257303615941480952011-06-04T21:56:10.594-06:002011-06-04T21:56:10.594-06:00Jason,

Particularly, Remi and the new PG, Ross-Miller...will they get playing time, and if so, do they have what it takes to make a solid contribution? Will the Aggies be able to win with them this season? I was thinking that the loss of Gillenwater will open a spot for Remi, at the very least. Ross-Miller, as a point guard, would have to take time away from Hearnst.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-78052361629759296202011-06-04T18:07:21.414-06:002011-06-04T18:07:21.414-06:00But he lost those seniors and will now be the prim...But he lost those seniors and will now be the primary scorer.

Here are the facts.<br /><br />Deonte Burton: 13.7 ppg (10th in WAC), 42 percent FG, 36 percent 3-point, 3.5 apg (fourth in WAC), 1.6 assist-turnover ratio (4th in WAC) 1.3 spg (6th in WAC)<br /><br />Hernst Laroche: 11.5 ppg, 46 percent FG, 34 percent 3-point, 4.6 apg (second in the WAC), 1.7 assist to turnover ratio (third in WAC) 1.9 spg (third in WAC), <br /><br />Brokeith Pane: 11.8 ppg, 44 percent FG, 21 percent 3-pt, 3.4 apg (fifth in WAC), 1.3 assist-turnover ratio (sixth in WAC)<br /><br /><br />So based on stats, Pane isn't as good. He was surrounded by better players, and after seeing all three in person, he's by far the most limited offensively.Jason Groveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865320061941648252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-49121305275608465432011-06-04T12:15:58.004-06:002011-06-04T12:15:58.004-06:00Brockeith 3rd Team?
