Starters
AJ Harris
The 5’9″ guard played about 14 mpg before electing to transfer from Ohio State. He’ll come in to replace Baker at the point guard position and become the new primary ball handler. A once highly-recruited player will have his shot with the Aggies.
Sidy N’Dir
It speaks to the overall depth of the team when you can lose such a big piece and still dominate the league. N’Dir had a great start to last season, averaging over 13 ppg before suffering a season-ending injury after just nine games. The 6’2 Frenchman is a great shooter and comes in as one of the better athletes in the WAC.
Zach Lofton
The replacement for Huggins, Lofton was dismissed from Minnesota before becoming the SWAC player of the year at Texas Southern. He averaged 16.8 ppg and 3.9 rpg to lead his team to the tournament last season. While the SWAC is considered one of the worst conferences in Division-I, Lofton’s numbers should still be similar in his final season.
Jemerrio Jones
This JUCO transfer was the unsung hero of last year’s team, averaging 9.4 ppg and 8.4 rpg. He’s an underrated playmaker as well, finishing second on the team with 3.0 apg. Top-5 in both rebounding and overall player efficiency in the conference, Jones is a stat stuffer who wins games.
Eli Chuha
Arguably the best returning frontcourt player in the WAC, Chuha nearly averaged a double-double in conference play. He averaged 12.4 ppg and 8.8 rpg, good for third in the league. His 61% field goal shooting was tops in the WAC and he is a preseason contender for conference player of the year.
