LAS CRUCES, N.M. - New Mexico State men's basketball head coach Marvin Menzies has added Travon Landry to the Class of 2013. The 6-0 point guard joins the Aggies for the 2013-14 season.

A San Antonio, Texas native, Landry joins the Crimson and White after playing the 2012-13 season at Huntington Prep in Huntington, W. Va., under coach Rob Fulford. Huntington Prep is the same school that Aggie freshman center Sim Bhullar attended.

"We are pleased to welcome Travon Landry to the Aggie nation," Menzies said. "Travon is a tenacious defender and competitor. Playing on one of the top high school teams in the United States last year, Travon brings a winning resume and attitude to the program. Increasing competition in practice is a must when developing a top-tier Division I men's basketball program, and we're optimistic that with this year's additions the atmosphere of practice will be at a very high level."  Continue Reading This Post >>
