Former Cincinnati Big Man Eyes Shocking Move to Texas A&M—What’s Behind the Decision?
Bucky McMillan’s second year leading the Texas A&M basketball program is already shaping up to be a whirlwind. After clinching a respectable 22-12 record and securing an NCAA Tournament berth in his debut season, Bucky earned himself a contract extension—no surprise there, given his knack for molding a squad forged entirely from the transfer portal. Now, as the portal’s latest chapter unfolds, the Aggies are deep in reconstruction mode. While a couple of players have already tapped out (looking at you, Josh Holloway and Rubén Dominguez), key returnees like Zach Clemence, Jamie Vinson, and Chris McDermott are sticking around for the 2026-27 season. The real headline? PJ Haggerty, the former Kansas State point guard, gearing up to make waves in College Station next year. With Mackenzie Mgbako expected back from an untimely injury, star power isn’t the issue—it’s depth, especially at guard and forward, that’s on everyone’s minds as the April 21 deadline looms. That focus on size? It’s spotlighting big names like Charleston’s Chol Machot and Cincinnati’s towering 7’2” center Moustapha Thiam, a promising talent who might just slot right into McMillan’s starting lineup. College hoops fans, keep your eyes peeled—this rebuilding story is gaining some serious steam. LEARN MORE
