As the transfer portal heats up this offseason, Texas A&M is making aggressive moves to reshape its basketball roster following the departure of several key players. With eight seniors exiting the program, including standout performers Wade Taylor IV and Zhuric Phelps, as well as top rebounders Andersson Garcia and Henry Coleman III, the Aggies face a critical period of rebuilding. Head coach Buzz Williams and his staff have wasted no time identifying promising talent to fill these gaps, with multiple transfer targets already in their sights.
Earlier this week, Texas A&M reached out to several high-impact players, including USC Upstate guard Brit Harris, LSU forward Corey Chest Jr., and Quinnipiac’s Amarri Monroe, the 2025 MAAC Player of the Year. The Aggies expanded their list of potential recruits when they contacted Rutgers transfer center Lathan Sommerville on Wednesday. According to On3’s Joe Tipton, Texas A&M is among nine programs vying for Sommerville’s commitment, with SEC rival Tennessee also expressing interest.
Sommerville, a 6-foot-9, 245-pound center, brings a strong defensive presence and rebounding prowess, qualities that could significantly benefit the Aggies as they look to shore up their interior play. His ability to anchor the defense and contribute in the paint makes him a valuable asset for any team seeking size and versatility in the frontcourt.
With the SEC becoming increasingly competitive, Texas A&M’s proactive approach in the transfer market reflects the urgency to maintain relevance and build a roster capable of contending. As the offseason unfolds, the Aggies’ ability to secure these key transfers could play a pivotal role in determining their success next season.
