Under head coach Buzz Williams, Texas A&M basketball recruiting has been an issue under his leadership, but if we’re being honest, it’s not all Williams’ fault. Texas A&M is not a blue blood basketball program, but it surely has the resources and backing to at least try to become one.
Entering his sixth-season at the helm, the Aggie’s roster is quite possibly in the best shape it’s ever been under Williams, as four out of five 2023 starters will return, headlined by incoming senior point guard Wade Taylor IV.
Finally making it past the round of 64 in the NCAA Tournament, Williams picked up three commitments from the transfer portal to finish out the 2024-2025 roster, but focusing back on recruiting, he has yet to land a commitment in the 2025 recruiting cycle.
However, it looks like Texas A&M is finally gaining national traction among blue-chip propsects once again, as 2025 4-star combo guard Chris Jeffrey has included the Aggies in his Top 8 program list, joining Butler, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi State, Oklahoma State, Penn State, and Tennessee.
Out of Mt. Zion Prep in Maryland, Jeffrey is a rising guard prospect due to his size and speed, posessing a soft touch near the basket, while his outside shooting continues to increase in efficiency.
