Texas A&M's 2024-2025 season ended on Saturday after the Aggies fell to 5-seed Michigan in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, ending the careers of eight players, including all-time leading scorer Wade Taylor IV, and reliable forwards Henry Coleman III and Andersson Garcia leave the program in much better shape than when they arrived.
Head coach Buzz Williams and his staff will face the toughest challenge this offseason: rebuilding the roster through the transfer portal. During both games in the NCAA Tournament, junior forward Pharrel Payne was an absolute star, scoring 25 points in the win over Yale and 26 points in Saturday's loss against the Wolverines. While he has yet to make an official announcement, Payne is expected to return next season paired with fellow forward Solomon Washington, representing the only key contributors on the roster.
As the entry numbers continue to grow, a familiar name re-entered the transfer portal this week, as former four-star guard Bryce Lindsay, who was on the Aggies roster for one season, transferred to James Madison last offseason and completely revamped his game, upping his scoring average to 13.3 points per game while shooting 40% from 3-point range.

Texas A&M desperately needs dependable 3-point shooters, and, knowing his skill set, Williams Shoot has already called the incoming sophomore to gauge his interest. During his only season with James Madison, Lindsay was named Sun Belt Freshman of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year.
