Texas A&M's 2026-2027 basketball season is less than two weeks away, and coach Bucky McMillan enters Year 2 with even higher expectations after leading the Aggies to the NCAA Tournament in his first season and to the Round of 32 before falling to Houston.
This offseason, McMillan and his staff replenished the roster with seven transfer portal additions and several key returning players, led by former Kansas State shooting guard PJ Haggerty, who averaged nearly 24 points per game last season, while forwards Mackenzie Mgbako , Zach Clemence, and Jamie Vinson return and bring much-needed size and experience in the front court.

The Aggies are considered a sleeping giant under McMillan, starting with recruiting: after landing freshman guard Neiko Mundey and center Josh Irving in the 2026 class, McMillan secured his first 2028 commitment from four-star guard Chase Richardson, one of the cycle's most explosive athletes.
On Monday, 2028 four-star forward Dylan Jones is slated to announce his commitment after visiting Ole Miss, Tennessee, Memphis, Providence, and Texas A&M, including College Station on September 12 during Texas A&M football's 48-20 win over Arizona State.
According to the latest intel from AggieYell insider Jaxson Callaway , Texas A&M remains in a great position to land Jones's commitment, as McMillan and his staff have made the blue-chip prospect their primary focus after landing Richardson, despite Providence and Memphis making a final push this weekend.
"Despite the competition, the latest conversations continue to point toward the Aggies being in a favorable position with just days remaining until Jones makes his decision. There's still time for things to shift, but the confidence surrounding McMillan and his staff is worth monitoring as the recruitment enters its final stretch."
Dylan Jones will announce his commitment on Monday, October 26, at 7:00 p.m., and the announcement will stream on the CBS Sports College Basketball YouTube channel.
