Texas A&M Basketball Recruiting News

The Aggies landed a commitment from fast-rising 2020 Jonesboro-Hodge, Louisiana shooting guard LaDamien Bradford, a 6'4" talent who adds length and athleticism on the perimeter.

The Aggie basketball program has landed its latest commit in the 2020 class, 6'2" Connecticut Science Academy point guard and national top-100 recruit Hassan Diarra.

Buzz Williams picked up another 2020 commit as 6-10 center Jonathan Aku shut it down in favor of Texas A&M on Sunday afternoon. The big man out of Lewisville picked the Aggies out of a top four that also included Texas Tech, TCU and Tulsa.

Earlier this week, Nederland SG Hayden Hefner decided to pull the trigger on Texas A&M. The 6-5 sniper becomes the first commit of the 2020 class, and his commitment helps lay a foundation for Buzz Williams prior to his first season as head coach of the Aggie basketball team.

On Sunday, Buzz Williams added to his 2020 recruiting class after reeling in Hayden Hefner, a 6-5 shooting guard from Nederland, Texas. Hefner also holds offers from OU, Houston, Clemson and Texas, among others.

Buzz Williams continues to assemble his first roster for the Aggies, adding Bakari Simmons, a guard from Chicago who spent the last year playing for Victory Rock Prep in Florida. Simmons is a 6-6, 215-pound guard with versatile skills who played for Bob Hurley, Sr., in high school.

Emanuel Miller, a 6’7 forward from Canada, has made a verbal pledge to Texas A&M. The forward was committed to Virginia Tech out of high school, but was released following the departure of Buzz Williams.
