Texas A&M’s flourishing basketball program under the watchful eye of fifth-year head coach Buzz Williams is off to a solid start during the 2023-2024 season, opening the year with a convincing 78-46 win over Texas A&M Commerce on Monday night.
While the roster is as deep as it has been under Williams this season, preparing for future departures, including senior guard Tyrece “Boots” Radford and senior forwards Henry Coleman and Julius Marble.
The good news? The program has officially signed its two 2024 recruits, as four-star guard Andre Mills and four-star forward George Turkson are sure to make an immediate impact as soon as they step on campus. After the pen hit the paper, Texas A&M Assistant coach Lyle Wolf had this to say about both players, who are unequivocally high-character young men with the talent to star in the SEC for years to come, starting with Andre Mills out of the Brimmer and May School in Chesnut (MA).
“Andre Mills is a home run addition to our roster. He’s a pass, dribble, and shoot SEC guard that brings a level of toughness that matches the personality of our program. Guided by his Brimmer and May School Coach, Tom Nelson, Andre knows the right way to play and competes at the highest level. From day one, Andre will add attributes to our organization that will keep Texas A&M at the top of the league. We are very thankful Andre will be joining us, and we’re excited to compete with him on our team.”
Turkson, hailing from the Bradford Christian Academy in Lowell (MA), committed the Aggies early last May. He has continued to ascend up the ranks due to his defensive prowess and dominance in rebounding.
“Our entire program is excited to add George Turkson to the family. Having learned the game under Coach Vin Pastore at Bradford Christian Academy, George knows how to impact winning on both sides of the basketball. Every single possession, George will bring an unmatched level of energy, toughness and physicality. In addition to his on-court contributions, George will be a great representation of the 12th Man. His high character and integrity, coupled with his competitive spirit, will bring a lot of success to College Station.”
Congratulations to both young men on taking steps towards their bright basketball future!
Texas A&M will take on Ohio State in Columbus (OH) on Friday, Nov. 10 at 6:00 p.m. CT. The game will air on Peacock.
