Texas A&M G feels snubbed, motivated by Preseason All-SEC selection

Texas A&M basketball is thriving under second-year coach Bucky McMillan, who built the squad primarily through the transfer portal, including senior forward Rashaun Agee. After losing most of the 2025-2026 roster, McMillan added seven key transfers, including Kansas State guard PJ Haggerty, who averaged nearly 24 points per game during his brief stint with the Wildcats.

Haggarty, now returning to lead the team in scoring, joins veteran forwards Mackenzie Mgbako and Zach Clemence and rising sophomore Jamie Vinson, whose size and athleticism are expected to make a significant impact. The Aggies have bolstered their shooting with transfers Tyshawn Archie, Jalen Reese, Jordan Pope, and freshman Neiko Mundey, along with senior guard Rylan Griffen, who will add reliable three-point shooting upon eligibility.

Despite being named to the Preseason All-SEC Team, Haggarty downplays his selection, stating that he disagrees with the choice and acknowledges that others have differing opinions. However, the motivated guard is determined to prove his worth in the SEC, confident that McMillan's coaching style aligns well with his abilities. Texas A&M opens the 2026-2027 season against Alabama State on November 3.
