Wendell McKines departing New Mexico State

In this morning's San Francisco Chronicle, there is an article about Wendell McKines and his planned departure from New Mexico State at the end of the school year.

The 6-4 McKines played in 35 games this season, starting 12. Averaging 18.7 minutes per game, he scored 6.4 ppg. and grabbed 5.9 rpg., being particularly good on the offensive boards where he nabbed 94 of his 207 rebounds.

McKines is a tenacious and physical power player with an amazing quickness off the floor to his leaping ability but he faced the seeming return of Herb Pope, whose mid-season eligibility cut into McKines' minutes this just concluded season and the apparent arrival of 6-8 Troy Gillenwater at the power forward spot. Plus, Coach Marvin Menzies may even add to his frontline this week when new recruits can be signed.
