No doubt . The saving grace may be that a whole lot of other rosters are in the same boat with the NIL/portal chaos. I just look forward to seeing all the different new players and how Bucky develops them into a team. I totally enjoyed watching them go from raw (UCF and Montana games come to mind) early last season to a well coordinated group by January . Also I don't expect to see any absolute train wrecks like the Oklahoma St game this year.

I agree on the celebration! Does need a little work.
Getting film to the coaches is what we're working on. Had to do a little digging but I think we found emails for a majority of the coaching staff and we'll be sending them emails with a link and game schedule for the live period in May.
We're also hoping that the team he's on now and the YouTube series he's a part of will help with getting more film in front of the coaches but also getting to know him as a person/player.
I know the roster limit is 15, but since McDermott was on the roster before April 2025 I would think that he's a designated student athlete, meaning he shouldn't count towards the roster limit. So I'm thinking that A&M can have 16 players on their roster. Only 15 of them can be on scholarship so that would leave 1 roster spot that can be used on a walk-on. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Look at TN's roster. We need size/strength/athleticism like them.
Okpara 6'11"
Ament 6'10"
Carey 6'8"
Boswell 6'4"
Gillespie 6'1"
We have size we need Vinson to take a huge step though which i think he can.
Vinson 6'11"
Shelley 6'8"
Phillips 6'9"
Mgbako 6'8"
Clemence 6'9"
Guard height is alright with three guys 6'3" or taller
Walls
Haggerty
Warren
Freshman height
Josh Irving 6'11"
Isn't Clemence listed at 6 -11?

If marco1510's son, a kid of a TexAgs poster, can somehow get a walk-on spot - then I hope Liucci and company find a way to put him on the site as an interview.
Roster Release Date?

Yes - a nice stretch 4/5.

Guards: Bryson Warren, PJ Haggerty, Jalen Reece, Tyshawn Archie, Lukas Walls, Jeremiah Green, Neiko Munday,
Forwards: Mackenzie Mgbako, Zach Clemence, Cade Phillips, Jaylen Shelly, Jamie Vinson, Chris McDermott, Joshua Irving
Portal Needs:
- 6'11+ big man / rim protector
- taller guard (6'5+) that can shoot the 3 and rebound
Sweet 16 or bust
Final 4 / elite 8 team
So, are we officially done with the portal? I thought we had a spot or two left to fill. I keep updating to see if we've signed someone else, but nothing.
Rumors we'd look into Europe maybe for one more.
1 spot to fill out I believe.
I saw that we had a #10 ranking in the portal.

I have high hopes for Jamie's development
Was that Tonny Trocha-Morelos in the background?
Sure looked like it. Hope he's giving Jamie some tips.
Only 151 days to go
Have we heard Anything on Warren's eligibility?
An order was just issued by a judge that I believe would theoretically give (most notably) Rylan Griffen an additional year of eligibility.
if it holds up would unleash complete chaos in portal/rosters everywhere, pretty much reinstates all 4yr grads in any sport
Judge Sweeney has issued an order clarifying the scope of the injunction issued Friday night.
— Sam C. Ehrlich (@samcehrlich) August 2, 2026
In doing so, she clarified that her injunction ONLY grants athletes in the class a fifth year. It *does not* enjoin transfer rules, roster caps, rev share caps, etc. https://t.co/ohDiBAKrE5 pic.twitter.com/KZUL5KDCbQ

Recruiting has to get better.
Texas A&M is the favorite to land Texas transfer Jordan Pope, source told @TheFieldOf68.
— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanHoops) August 17, 2026
Pope was one of the players in the California lawsuit.
He averaged 13.1 points last season for the Longhorns.
I always liked Pope while he was at Texas. Would be a good addition

BREAKING:
— Luke Evangelist (@lukeevangelist_) August 17, 2026
Texas guard Jordan Pope has committed to Texas A&M 👍
Pope exhausted his eligibility playing 30+ games for 4 years, but now has a 5th year of eligibility through the Colorado preliminary injunction.
He averaged 13.1 PPG last year and shot 37.2% from 3 on 6.4 3PA 🎯 pic.twitter.com/zhmOrKeYuZ
Genuine Question - what's the roster outlook right now? It's very difficult to tell how this roster stacks up against this past year. Also difficult to compare when the best player on this year's squad is a guard compared to Agee this past year. With the addition of Pope do we have a noticeably better roster than this past year?

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I would take this year's roster over last year. Also, I'm confident that we are going to win at least 5 games and lose at least 5. It's what we do with the other 25 games that really matters.
I'd like to think this roster could've at least taken UH down to the wire
Well we will play a worse UH team this year right?
