New Texas A&M head coach Bucky McMillan is already hard at work to rebuild the Aggies' depleted roster; as the last remaining contributors during Buzz Williams' final season, forwards Pharrel Payne and Solomon Washington followed Williams to Maryland, where they will play their final collegiate seasons.
McMillan's play style will attract players with experience in a similar system as the 2025 transfer portal, which is filled with talent for every position. On Saturday, Wichita State junior forward Corey Washington included the Aggies in his top six transfer destinations, joining Creighton, Ole Miss, USC, Mississippi State, and SMU.
During the 2024-2025 season, Washington was second on the team in scoring with 13.7 points per game, paired with 7.2 rebounds per contest. He shot an efficient 45% from the field, including 69% from the free throw line and 34% from the 3-point range. This is the first player to include the Aggies in his final grouping this offseason, which is a good sign for McMillan heading into his first week as the program's new head coach.
Landing Washington is the first goal, while several of McMillan's starters and key bench players could also follow him to College Station in due time. This is a complete rebuild, so patience from the fan base is needed, but in today's transfer portal/NIL landscape, I expect the first-year head coach to make a bevy of moves in the coming days.
