Figured I'd start tracking these after each game.

Updated through the Lamar game, in which Taylor overtook Bernard King for second in made three pointers and Dominique Kirk for 7th in assists.

Record watch:

Points:
Current Leader: Bernard King, 1,990
2 - Vernon Smith - 1778
3 - Joseph Jones - 1679
4 - Acie Law IV - 1669
5 - Wade Taylor - 1626 (Taylor passed John Beasley to take #5 in the UCF game)
Current projection: at just 13 ppg so far this season Taylor would not catch King in the regular season, but something tells me Taylor isn't going to avg 13 ppg)

Made Free Throws:
Current Leader: Bernard King - 488
2 - Joseph Jones - 480
3 - Wade Taylor IV - 410
Current projection: Taylor is also way off the pace here, but plenty of time to get cooking

FT Percentage:
Current Leader: Mike Floyd 84.6%
2 - Wade Taylor - 84.5%

Three Pointers:
Current Leader: Josh Carter 299
2 - Wade Taylor (Taylor overtook King against Lamar) - 230
3 - Bernard King
Current Projection: at three made 3s a game, Taylor is on track to overtake Carter sometime in February

Assists:
Current leader: Alex Caruso - 649
2 - David Edwards - 602
3 - King - 550
4 - Law IV - 545
5 - Goff - 535
6 - Holloway - 491
7 - Wade Taylor IV - 385 - Taylor passed Sloan against UCF, Harris against ETAM, and Kirk against Lamar)
8 - Kirk - 382
9 - Harris - 379
10 - Sloan - 370
Current projection: Hot start here, Taylor was never going to threaten the top 3 here, but at over 5 assists a game currently he would project to overtake Goff on the final game of the regular season for fifth.

Steals:
Current Leader: Alex Caruso - 276
2 - David Edwards - 228
3 - Todd Holloway - 208
4 - Dave Goff - 198
5 - Wade Taylor IV - 177
Current projection: starting slow here at 1 steal per game, but projects to pass Goff and finish just behind Holloway

Offensive Rebounds: (This stat is kind of wonky because it wasn't an official stat for a long time, it's not tracked in our media guides, and the CBB reference database only goes back to 2014, but whatever, it'll be fun to see if Garcia chases down Coleman and if either of them get Tyler Davis)
Current leader: Tyler Davis - 324
2 - Kourtney Roberson - 323
3 - Joseph Jones - 309
4 - Bryan Davis - 274
5 - Henry Coleman - 270
6 - Tyrece Radford - 235
7 - Andersson Garcia - 232

Total rebounds:
Won't put the whole list here but just to track how far Coleman and Garcia can go:
Coleman's current projection: 839 (would be 6th all time)
Garcia's current projection: 710 (would be 14th)
(reminder that only their rebounds at Texas A&M count here)

Cool info. Thanks, bobinator.

This does bring back memories, most of them bad lol. Those Bernard King years were pretty dark.

I think Henry stands a chance in setting the offensive rebounds record. Because of COVID, he has 4 years of playing at A&M, right?

I didn't update that one because the offensive rebounds record isn't really the record, but I might check in on where those two are a couple of times during the season and see where they get to on the all-time rebounds record. Offensive rebounds weren't an official stat for a long time, and even since they have been the records I can find on that only go back to 2014.

You're also right, Coleman will have played four full seasons for us so he's going to rank pretty high on the rebounding list. Like I said in the OP he could get all the way to top 6 or so in total rebounds.

Coleman has been an underappreciated player in some ways, mostly because we all kept hoping he'd take one more step forward as a player, but he's been a very solid player for a very long time now.
