Big Hoops Official Visitor This Weekend

Big-time 7-footer Javonte Brown-Ferguson has just arrived on-campus for his official visit. He's another high level Canadian prospect that is now at powerhouse Mount Saint Joseph in Baltimore. We have him rated as a medium four-star recruit and he's a consensus Top 100 player nationally. He just turned 17, but his recruitment absolutely exploded with some great performances in the summer season. He's very long with arms that go forever, but the turning point was his added strength and starting to fill out. He was impressive enough to have Bill Self visit him and he's taking a Kansas visit on October 4. Indiana, UConn, and Purdue among others are involved.There is a connection to A&M. Before leaving for Baltimore, Brown-Ferguson played at Thornlea Secondary outside of Toronto which is where A&M signee Cashius McNeilly played his ball. They also played together on the Canada Elite AAU team, and of course Cashius' uncle is Texas A&M assistant coach Jamie McNeilly. The big news here is that Javonte is a high school junior eligibility-wise, but about the time he announced his official visit to A&M he said he's looking at reclassifying from the 2021 class to the 2020 class. If you recall, McNeilly also reclassified last year to immediately join the Aggies.And finally, within the last three days, A&M has received two crystal ball picks.That doesn't mean he's a done deal by any means with Kansas and Indiana still on the official visit schedule, but the information is lining up in the Aggies' favor.I could only find one good highlight clip and it's from early 2018 so it's very dated. He's much heavier now, but you can see his very long wingspan.Texas A&M official visit today— Javonte Brown-Ferguson (@lanxxjay) September 20, 2019

TexAgs National Average Rating

The TexAgs National Average Rating is a proprietary formula that calculates an industry-wide aggregate rating for each recruiting prospect. The formula includes publicly listed grades, scores, ratings and rankings by national recruiting services, along with a TexAgs rating. Combining the data provides a rating for each prospect, which is then normalized to fit the TexAgs Rating 100-point scale.

The intent of this rating is to provide TexAgs readers with a comprehensive snapshot of how individual prospects rank nationally.

TexAgs Rating

The TexAgs Recruiting team of Billy Liucci, David Sandhop, Jason Howell, Ryan Brauninger and a host of recruiting interns attends more than 75 games each fall and observes and evaluates every major Texas A&M target, as well as most of the top 150 prospects in the State of Texas. From this evaluation the team draws a rating for each prospect on a scale between 70 and 100.

Staff Predictions

The predictions represent which school each staff member believes will ultimately sign the recruit, and the confidence meter represents his level of certainty in that outcome.

Example #1

If the predicted school is Texas A&M and confidence is set to “High”, then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Texas A&M and I feel very certain about that.”

Example #2

If the predicted school is “Alabama” and confidence is set to “Low,” then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Alabama, but I’m not very certain about that.”
