Elite Texas A&M transfer guard enters as program's best career scorer

Texas A&M's first season under head coach Bucky McMillan was a massive success, as the Aggies made the NCAA Tournament after being the last Power Four coach hired, while inheriting just one player from former coach Buzz Williams' final roster. Having to build his first roster from the transfer portal , McMillan was lucky enough to add veteran forward Rashaun Agee, who led the team in scoring and rebounds, while senior guards Rylan Griffen, Jacari Lane, and Ali Dibba all provided stability throughout conference play thanks to their collective experience, especially after losing star transfer forward Mackenzie Mgbako before SEC play began. Losing Agee, Griffen, Lane, and Dibba to expired eligibility, Mgbako announced that he will return for the 2026-2027 season, and after the transfer portal opened on Tuesday, senior forward Zach Clemence , who transformed into one of the program's most reliable starters, was granted one more year of eligibility and will also return.

However, Spanish sharpshooter Ruben Dominguez and junior guard Pop Isaacs entered the portal, while Dominguez has reportedly committed to Xavier. For the Aggies, McMillan has been in communication with several standout guards and big men, but out of nowhere, Texas A&M landed one of the top overall players in the portal on Friday afternoon. Former Kansas State star point guard PJ Haggarty is officially headed to College Station after 23.

4 PPG, which was the 3rd most nationally, combined with 5. 3 rebounds, while shooting nearly 50% from the field, and 35% from beyond the arc. Thanks to GigEm247 beat writer Carter Karels for the quick information update.

Haggarty now enters the program with the most career points, free throws made and attempted, and made field goals, which trumps any former Aggie player to take the court in Maroon & White. While McMillan still needs to add two or three more impact players at guard and center, Haggarty should thrive in Texas A&M's up-tempo system that requires an elite scoring guard to take over the game at any time, and match, or better, his 2025 scoring average. New Texas A&M basketball guard PJ Haggerty is already be the best scorer in program history.
