While all eyes are on Texas A&M Football’s first season under head coach Mike Elko, Aggie Basketball should be one of the better teams in the country ahead of Buzz Williams’ sixth season at the helm.
Bringing back more than 80% of the 2023 roster that made it to the Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament before falling to top-seeded Houston in overtime, Williams has continued to add veteran players through the transfer portal, filling out both the back and frontcourt depth.
Led by star point guard Wade Taylor IV, the loss of versatile guard Tyrece “Boots” Radford hurts, but the addition of SMU slasher Zhuric Phelps should help quell his three-year production. However, the ongoing development of incoming junior forward Solomon Washington should excite every Aggie fan heading into the season.
With an already challenging nonconference schedule, CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein has reported that Texas A&M and Texas Tech are finalizing a deal to play each other in a neutral site in Fort Worth’s Dickies Arean on Sunday, December 8, as the former Big 12 foes would meet for the first time since the 2011-2012 season.
