In my opinion he was the missing piece for the West Mesa Mustangs last season and will live up to expectations this year. He will be the most impactful transfer in New Mexico this season.
Josiah Guliford Josiah Guliford 5'10" | PG La Cueva | 2023 State NM “La Cueva” PG: After a recent conversation with Josiah Guliford Josiah Guliford 5'10" | PG La Cueva | 2023 State NM , he feel like he has a lot to prove this season. He is a tough-nosed point guard who has a huge chip on his shoulder. After the loss of a few key players from last year, expect his production and leadership increase this year for the Bears.
Ali Abdullah Ali Abdullah 6'5" | PF Valencia | 2023 State NM “Valencia” Forward: He is an emerging star who is on the verge of a breakout year. Ali Abdullah Ali Abdullah 6'5" | PF Valencia | 2023 State NM is an athletic forward who is quick on his feet. He has a quick first step and easily passes by defenders. He is a solid finisher around the rim and will be the Jaguars best player this season.
