The Buzz Williams chapter has officially closed for Texas A&M’s men’s basketball team, as Williams took on the same role at the University of Maryland this past Tuesday. His departure after six impactful seasons leaves Texas A&M searching for a new head coach.
With the team’s leadership position now vacant, there’s a pressing need for the Aggies to act quickly. The NCAA Transfer Portal for men’s college basketball opened just last Monday, and Texas A&M has seen the end of eligibility for almost all its core players from the previous season.
Among last season’s contributors, eight out of ten have used up their eligibility. This includes guards Wade Taylor IV, Zhuric Phelps, Manny Obaseki, C.J. Wilcher, Jace Carter, and Hayden Hefner, as well as power forwards Henry Coleman III and Andersson Garcia. However, juniors Pharrel Payne and Solomon Washington still have eligibility left, but their return is uncertain following Williams’ exit, as they might consider transferring.
So, who’s in the running to become the new head coach for Texas A&M’s men’s basketball team? GigEm247 has prepared a list of potential candidates to keep an eye on during the ongoing search. This list will be regularly updated as the process unfolds.
