Instead of rehashing the obvious, the 2023-2024 Texas A&M Basketball team led by head coach Buzz Williams is poised to make a big run in the NCAA Tournament next season, as three starters led by All-SEC guard Wade Taylor IV, Henry Coleman, and Julius Marble are slated to return, while guard Tyrece Radford is still mulling over his decision.
However, the departure of guard Dexter Dennis, who was sadly just a one-year rental in one of his best collegiate seasons on defense does leave a hole in the rotation, as his production in combination with adding perimeter shooters remains William’s biggest needs this offseason. With the transfer portal continuing to break record numbers, the Aggies have ample opportunity to add talent, starting with former Stanford Cardinals forward Harrison Ingram, who recently entered the portal earlier this month.
Stanford transfer Harrison Ingram is planning to have in-home visits with Baylor, North Carolina, Xavier, and Texas A&M, a source tells @On3sports.
Expected to visit Kansas next week. https://t.co/BPgYh8ohoI

Ingram, a former five-star recruit and No. 2-ranked player in Texas out of the 2021 recruiting class was a priority recruiting target for Buzz Williams after signing five-star forward Manny Obaseki. Opting to take the California route and sign with Stanford, Ingram has started the last two seasons with an identical 10.5 points per game, while shooting 40% from the field last season, and earning Pac-12 Freshman of the Year in 2022. After leaving the program on April 5, Ingram immediately set up in-home visits with North Carolina, Xavier, Baylor, and of course, Texas A&M.
Ingram’s prior relationship with Buzz Williams is surely a benefit heading into their meeting, but from the standpoint of replacing Dexter Dennis’s defensive prowess and playmaking ability, Harrison Ingram is the definition of a playmaking wing in today’s game and would become the final piece to the starting rotation for the Maroon and White next season and beyond.
