Overrated player. JR film was good, SR film sucked. SDSU dropped him & UCLA, Cal and UNLV had little to no interest in him and passed.
Academics?According to rivals he had like 14 total offers and a number of P5 offers from schools like Utah, Mizzu and Michigan State.
Usually with that many P5 schools offering you're creeping into 4* territory.
Based on all those offers NMSU seems like an odd landing spot.
I wonder if those other schools grew cold on him...
