Well done on another year of giving us info, insight, and a place to chat about the Aggies!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-22131584779082776012014-04-08T23:12:59.767-06:002014-04-08T23:12:59.767-06:00Jason,

The season ended too soon and of course with the information you provided above you really get us thinking with great anticipation what next years team is going to look like. I will definitely be looking forward to the look-ahead story. Thanks again for keeping us all plugged in Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-71004446160900676422014-04-08T17:02:30.064-06:002014-04-08T17:02:30.064-06:00Anon I wish I was aware of this week off that you ...Anon I wish I was aware of this week off that you refer to. With our staff, I jumped from covering the NCAA Tournament to high school and college softball and baseball. <br /><br />NMSU coaches and administrators were in Dallas for the Final Four, so I'm in the process of working on a lookahead type of story, but I would say you are on the right track in terms of your assessment. I don't think NMSU has any available scholarships if all four red shirts join the fold next year. The status of Terrel de Rouen is something I want to address as well. The fact that he has not left to play for another school after this long points to either his return to NMSU, possibly as a walk on, or losing another year altogether, but that's speculation at this point.

With his size, rebounding abilities and additional international experience he will get this summer, he may be a force on the squad this year. This will be a vital role with the size returning and coming in (Sim, Chili, Tanveer and Wilkins). Jason, is there any news on next years squad yet, cmon, you've had a week off work now you have to get back to feeding the fans.

Daniel seems to have trouble with turnovers and part of that is because he was playing out of position at point guard. If we have good PG play next year, it will be significant. The other thing I would like to see is an improvement in the number of turnovers by the bigs. There were way too many times the ball would go into the post and Sim or chili would fumble the pass or dribble the ball and getting it taken away by shorter defenders. Next year will be exciting especially if we continue to make 3s and shoot free throws at at least a 70% clip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-43960433123595394772014-04-02T11:55:58.977-06:002014-04-02T11:55:58.977-06:00Jason - I completely agree with this assessment.

Daniel is amazing and can be electric, but Bhullar's presence and passing ability (when coupled with the threat of outside shooting) fundamentally changes how teams game plan for us. They must pick their poison. With as much as he improved, if things can truly click with Chili next year, we will be scary. He's the type of player that could command a double team each time he touches it if his in game decision making speed/accuracy improves.

However, Dixon was the only other "big" and he was able to fill in admirably for Bhullar or Chili, and if you look at his stats, he averaged more points (and obviously more rebounds).

I agree with your points on Sim, but with the exception of 2 games, Daniel was the best Aggie on the floor. His steady play on both ends of the court, his clutch play at the end of games as the go-to-Aggie and his leadership on the court, man I got to go with Daniel.<br />With respect to 6th man, I have done this before, so I hate to do it again, you cannot choose just one sixth man this year, These are the two most enormously talented, solid, generous team players to come off the bench in a long time. You have to go with Renevin Aroxon, its the only way to go or a tie. Renaldo could start for any college team in the country, and Kevin has been a very underrated overall player because of his 3 point skills. <br />Point guard play-ouch, but I think we have 2 diamonds in the rough.
