Texas A&M adds SG Kobie Eubanks to lauded 2015 hoops class

The momentum of the Texas A&M basketball program continues to grow.

On Monday Billy Kennedy and his staff added another piece to the already top 10-ranked 2015 recruiting class. Kobie Eubanks, a 6-5 shooting guard from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (Elev8 Sports Institute) has committed to the Aggies and will be eligible to play December 19 of this year.

Eubanks was in Aggieland this past weekend to visit with the coaching staff and players. After watching the Aggies manhandle Texas A&M International at Reed Arena on Friday night, he was impressed with where the program is headed.

The talented wingman was formerly committed to Baylor and Alabama, but due to potential qualification concerns neither school was able to solidify the commitment. After the official ruling and clearance by the NCAA, Eubanks was highly recruited by Baylor, Georgetown and Texas A&M — with the Aggies ultimately winning out.

Much like what Raquan Mitchell was expected to do for the Aggies, Eubanks is a quick and athletic and adds a new dimension to this recruiting class (although Mitchell was just a pure, raw athlete). The 6-5, 215-pound Eubanks can finish above the rim, as well as in the paint after contact, and has really good body control. He is a decent shooter from long and mid-range and is also able to create off the dribble.

Eubanks will have to work on his defense to prepare for the collegiate level, but his physical stature will help him adjust quickly.

My biggest concern currently is how this addition will affect A&M's team chemistry. The Aggies have obviously developed a great relationship as a unit and to add a new, young personality to the team at this point in the season could be strenuous on the players and coaches.

Still, overall this is a good addition to the team and one that will help improve the chances of the Aggies making a good run through March Madness.

Interesting. ESPN and BR both list as top 100 and 4* (FWIW)

OK Logan it is time for you to make some predictions about positions and playing time since you have watched them more than probably anybody else.
I went to the game Friday night and what I saw was our best player have a horrible night, quite a bit of sloppy play, some older players with some of the same problems they had last year. I also saw players that have real talent and are going to be fun the watch when we could beat the other team that badly playing so many different players, having 2 players out hurt and a now a new player coming in a month.

Logan, any chance Kobie will redshirt this season?
