Former Las Cruces High hoops star Deuce Benjamin transferring from NMSU Aggies

The Benjamin basketball sequel for the New Mexico State Aggies will never make it to the court, after all.

Deuce Benjamin, the former New Mexico Gatorade Player of the Year and state champion at Las Cruces High School, where he played for his father and former Aggies star William Benjamin, announced on Tuesday he has entered the NCAA transfer portal and will be leaving program he grew up dreaming to be a part of and before ever having played in a regular season game.

“Due to the actions of others (which I will not go into here) that dream changed into a nightmare,” Benjamin wrote in a lengthy statement he posted on his social media accounts on Tuesday.
