Aggies Bolster Size for March Madness | SEC Basketball News

Texas A&M basketball stunned the nation last season by reaching the NCAA Tournament under first-year coach Bucky McMillan, even snagging a first-round win—though blowout losses exposed critical weaknesses, especially against bigger teams. This offseason, they’ve made a splash by bringing in All-American guard PJ Haggerty to boost scoring and create more paint opportunities. To fix their size disadvantage, which got exploited by teams like Florida and Houston, they’re reloading with big men: returning stars Julius Marble and Solomon Mgbako (both recovering from injuries), plus transfers Cade Phillips and Jalen Shelley, and freshman Josh Irving—all towering at 6’9” or taller. The roster is already showing chemistry in practice, and they’ll test it at the Baha Mar Hoops Summer League in August before the season kicks off in November.
