Five of Texas A&M's transfer additions ranked in Evan Miyakawa's Top 100 Transfer Rankings
Texas A&M's basketball future is in great hands under new head coach Bucky McMillan, who has all but rebuilt a program that was decimated entirely a little less than two months ago after former head coach Buzz Williams departed for Maryland. So far, he has added nine players from the transfer portal, including five who are viewed as "elite" and immediate contributors ahead of the 2025-2026 season. On Friday, college basketball analytics expert Evan Miyakawa released his Top 100 transfer portal rankings, which utilize his unique grading system based on each player's offensive and defensive ratings from their performances during the 2024 season. Advertisement Going back to the five out of nine new Texas A&M players, forwards Mackenzie Mgbako, Rashaun Agee, guard Pop Isaacs, center Federiko Federiko and small forward Rylan Griffen are all ranked in the Top 100 of Miyakawa's rankings, making the Aggies the only team with more than four players within the Top 100, which is mightly impressive, giving McMillan more than enough talent to work with. Here is where all five players are ranked: Forward Mackenzie Mgbako (40th) Guard Pop Isaacs (51st) Forward Rashaun Agee (60th) Center Federiko Federiko (61st) Shooting guard Rylan Griffen (80th) Currently, Texas A&M's 2025 roster consists of 12 players, allowing the team to add three more players to reach the 15-player maximum. It is likely looking to add three more depth pieces at guard, wing, and center.

USC men's basketball season is over after one-point loss to Villanova
USC men's basketball season is over after one-point loss to Villanova Trojans lose to Villanova in Vegas and begin the work of improving their roster for next season After USC men's basketball fell to Purdue in the Big Ten Tournament last month, we thought that the Trojans' season was over. As it turns out, however, we were wrong, as USC later accepted an invitation to play in the first ever College Basketball Crown postseason tournament in Las Vegas. After blowing out Tulane in their first round game on Tuesday night, the Trojans took on Villanova in the second round Thursday. This time, however, the result was different, as USC dropped a 60-59 heartbreaker. Saint Thomas and Rashaun Agee both came up big for the Trojans. Thomas had 23 points and 13 rebounds, while Agee had 22 and seven, respectively. However, USC was unable to overcome Villanova star Eric Dixon, who had a game-high 28 points. With the loss, the Trojans' season now comes to an end—for real, this time. As we have mentioned in the past, it is hard to pin too much of this year on head coach Eric Musselman, as he arrived on campus last April and did not have much time to put together a roster. Now that USC's season is over, however Musselman can focus on attacking the transfer portal and recruiting in order to ensure that the Trojans have a much better roster next year than they did in 2024-2025.
