Aggies get another committment

NMSU received a verbal commitment from offensive lineman Aundre McGaskey. McGaskey is from Blinn Junior College in Texas.

McGaskey actually played a season at Texas in 2008 before transferring to Blinn. He went to La Marque High School in La Marque, Texas. This link has a quote from McGaskey as wanting to leave Texas in order to pursue more playing time at another school.

On a side note, DeWayne Walker is quoted in this interview that he would in fact be able to sign a ninth assistant this year. I wrote in my last entry that I didn't believe the Aggies would fill the spot.

He played two years at Texas. He red-shirted the 2007 season, and played in all 12 games in 2008 before leaving the program in May of this year and transferring to Binn JC.

Looks like OL Coach Jason Lenzmeir is getting us some good Texas recruits!

The staff is doing a heck of a job for us!

He has to sit out a year right?

Wow, it's great we're getting McGaskey. It's rare for the Aggies to have such a big offensive lineman.

Looks like we finally have a coach who is going to build this program the right way from the inside out. I also think it will be huge to have the 9th coach this year.

No he just needs his AA degree and he can play this fall! he is a 4-2-4 transfer!

I believe that I am correct in two things. He redshirted one year and played one year at Texas and then played one year at Blinn. Because of the JUCO year, he should be eligible immediately, and have two years left.

Don't look now but if we can land Charles Garret a 3star DB out of La that would be huge. This kid looks tough we are battling ASU, OR, ORstate and WSU. He does have a trip planned to Las Cruces right after the first of the year.
