Originally posted by calfan View PostJust to be fair, and I know you all do, Heier brought three players with him From Northwest Florida State.
There are 3 players on the roster from Northwest Florida State. However, 1 was on the NMSU roster last year, so Jans brought him in. I suppose being from NWFS is maybe a reason why he is only 1 of 2 players to return from last year although he did not play for GH at NWFS.
The returning NWFS player, 6-8 F Marchelus Avery, is tied for 3rd in scoring on the NMSU team at 9.6 PPG.
The 2 NWFS players that GH brought with him are 6-7 F Deshawndre Washington who is 2nd in scoring at 12.1 PPG and leads in rebounding at 7.1 RPG and 6-9, 240 F Issa Muhammad who is tied with Avery for 3rd in scoring at 9.6 PPG and 4th in rebounding at 4.6 PPG.
Avery has the top 3-point shooting percentage at 44.2% (23-52) followed by Washington at 38.6% (14-44) among those with 10 or more attempts. Muhammad is their top %FG shooter overall at 58.7%.
NMSU's leading scorer is Xavier Pinson, a 5th year senior transfer from LSU. who is averaging 12.9 PPG. He was at Missouri for 3 years before transferring to LSU so he did not play for LSU when GH was there.
All that said I am still not sure what you were trying to convey with your post. Considering, that the players from NWFS are seemingly among the better players on the team this year perhaps he should have brought more of them along. Or it could indicate he had a hard time recruiting players from elsewhere. Obviously, recruiting into a coach's first year at a new school is never easy and it is even tougher these days especially at a school like NMSU who I suspect doesn't exactly have a big NIL war chest. Now why they are struggling to such a degree in the WAC is hard to say as I don't really follow NMSU or the WAC at all.
I am of the mind to give GH a pass on this year but with that said I think he still needs to prove himself at this level before he would be a candidate at WSU. I might be willing to bet he will do okay at NMSU given time but I would not be willing to bet the WSU program on him at this point and the next hire for WSU will be a very critical one.Last edited by 1972Shocker; January 21, 2023, 05:54 PM.
