Texas A&M is a finalist to land elite 2026 4-star SF out of Corpus Christi (TX)

Texas A&M's basketball program is under new management, as the 2025-2026 season will feature head coach Bucky McMillan leading the Aggies.

This marks a drastic change from the last three seasons under Buzz Williams, as the program's all-time leading scorer, Wade Taylor IV, has also departed.

However, change was needed after six seasons with Williams at the helm, who, while producing three consecutive NCAA Tournament teams, never advanced past the Round of 32.

In contrast, Texas A&M has never advanced past the Sweet 16 throughout the NCAA Tournament's existence.

This offseason, returning just one player in redshirt freshman forward Chris McDermott, McMillan added 12 players from the transfer portal, including veteran guard Pop Isaacs and former Indiana forward Mackenzie Mgbako.

While McMillan is looking to add two more players to reach the 15-player threshold, this roster is talented enough to compete for a postseason bid.

On the recruiting trail, McMillan has yet to land a 2026 commit, but is now a finalist for one of the top small forward prospects in the cycle, as four-star Billy White III, who also included Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Kansas, TCU, Stanford, Maryland, LSU, Virginia, and SMU in his top 10 program list.

During his 2024-2025 junior season at Veterans Memorial in Corpus Christi (TX), White averaged 18.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game, while leading his team to a 39-1 record.

His shooting ability, combined with impressive defense and rebounding makes him a borderline five-star prospect with an extremely high ceiling.While he has official visits lined up with six of his ten finalists, it's a positive development that Texas A&M is still on his radar heading into the fall.
