Here's a list of who's available:

So who are we going after? Is that only for premium subscribers?

Somebody's gotta have an uncle's cousin's brother's roommate with the inside scoop.

Also, how much NIL money does Texas A&M men's basketball give away? I read seven million for 2025-2026. Is that accurate? How much NIL money do we need to be elite recruiters like Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, and others?

After this year, I trust in Bucky and his staff. People may not realize it, but he has some dawgs on his staff that make this staff stout.

We're going after plenty of talented players, as evidenced by landing one of the top prospects in the portal. Bucky's staff is good about not leaking info.

We have quite a bit more than 7million in NIL funds.

Hope that helps!

No offense to Lukas Walls, but can't we do better than a Samford player? McMillan set the bar high with PJ Haggerty. Reel 'em in, McMillan!

Need depth.
This Walls kid should be able to give good minutes, even if it's just to give the better players a breather.
Has length, good defender, apparently can shoot the 3-ball

Doesn't suck.

I don't know if he can defend top level bigger guards or not but if he can that would be a major positive . We needed that and didn't have it a number of x this yr. Jmo but I think Bucky has earned our confidence that he knows what he's doing .

We appear to be prioritizing size at the guard spots more with Hagerty and now Walls compared to our losses (Lane , Holloway, Isaacs , Dominguez). Will be interesting to see if that continues .

Also, already knows the system, so you get some immediate continuity off the bench.

Well, if you want to add another mill to the NIL fund, maybe we can replace Walls with someone else

Yep

TA staff said he was added as a depth piece and didn't cost much

Unofficial, but the 2026-2027 roster outlook thread is being updated

How much NIL money do Florida, Arkansas, Alabama, and Kentucky spend in men's basketball and how does that compare to us? What do we need to be an elite team?

Kentucky reportedly spent $22mill on their roster last season. That was supposed to be the most in the country. I really don't know what our number is, but I don't think you can be competitive with under $10mill.

As a coach, you hope when you replace the starters and give them breather, the individual(s) replacing them doesn't allow the opposing team to increase the lead. If they can chip away at the lead it's an absolute plus.

Nothing but crickets lately. Keep hoping to see 1-2 more big time portal pickups. Horns making some big moves.

According to this article https://aggieswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/aggies/mens-basketball/2026/04/03/texas-aggies-basketball-on3-transfer-portal-spending-payroll/89459586007/
Texas A&M men's basketball has a projected 8 million to spend on NIL this upcoming season and most blue blood programs spend 10 million.

Quote:
"After listing every blue-blood program in the $10 million spending tier, Nakos placed Texas A&M in the second Tier at $8 million, which is quite surprising given where the program once stood among Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, etc."



Why are we not competing with the blue bloods? It can't be because we don't have the money, can it?

Because we wrote the book on maximizing revenue while minimizing costs and that's our sweet spot. See the results of the sport across the street for the last 80+ years.

And I fear we will continue to fail to make it beyond the second round of the Dance every year until we get serious about recruiting.

How do you think we are getting commitments from the players we are? I think money is a significant factor, also playing time/scheme. In the very article you cite, there are quibbles with the veracity of the $8M figure but even at that level it reinforces how much of a "new" player we are in the college basketball landscape.

I think that Bucky will infuse more support and excitement in the program than we have ever seen around these parts. Get on the bandwagon!

8 mil is what some on3 reporter guessed. No firm reporting elsewhere.

That's probably ballpark for haggarty, Warren, and Mgbako combined. Our spend is higher.
