Sim Bhullar has de-committed to Xavier and will instead attend New Mexico State.

The plan was for Bhullar to spend one more season at Huntington Prep before going to Xavier, but he will be able to play immediately for New Mexico State.

According to his sister Avneet, "Xavier is a great program and we are so appreciative of all the time they spent recruiting my brother, however, Sim has some unique clearinghouse issues that have forced us to really examine the best course of action for Sim's future. At this time we feel more comfortable going forward with New Mexico State due to their experience with Canadians and eligibility. We feel that New Mexico State provides Sim the best chance to get on the floor playing college basketball in the quickest time frame possible."

Sim will join Canadians Renaldo Dixon (Toronto, ON), Tyrone Watson (Hamilton, ON), Daniel Mullings (Toronto, ON), Christian Kabongo (Toronto, ON), and Hernst Laroche (Montreal, QC) on the Aggies roster. Associate Head Coach Paul Weir is a Toronto native who played at York University.
