Texas A&M has been in contact with former Arkansas guard who recently entered the transfer portal

Head coach Buzz Williams has reportedly been in contact with former Arkansas guard Devo Davis, who recently entered the transfer portal

Texas A&M’s 2023-2024 is ongoing, as the Aggies will now face the No. 1-seed Houston Cougars in the NCAA Tournament’s round of 32 after blowing out Nebraska in the first round on Friday night.

While it may seem like head coach Buzz Williams’ attention is elsewhere, remember that recruiting through the transfer portal has become a 24/7 job, especially for a program that will lose several starters heading into next season. This week, former Arkansas guard Davonte “Devo” Davis entered the portal after four years with the Razorbacks, shocking the fan base.

Davis, who will have one more year of eligibility remaining, has reportedly been in contact with Williams and Texas A&M while surprisingly coming off his worst statistical season after averaging just 5.9 points per game while shooting an average of 36.3 % from the field and 24.2 % from 3-point range.

Knowing that veteran guard Tyrece Radford will run out of collegiate eligibility at the conclusion of the season, no one can replace what Radford brings instinctually, combined with his ability to finish consistently near the rim, but pairing another strong guard like Davis to pair with Wade Taylor IV and Manny Obaseki to provide a reliable paint presence and at least up above average outside shooting is pivotal prevent taking a step backward.

Standing at 6-4 and 185 pounds, Davis has the size and experience, while a season to improve under Buzz Williams’ guidance could result in a significant uptick in his play.
