SEC Basketball: Way-too-early 2019-20 preseason power rankings
By Dakota Cox
11. Texas A&M Aggies
Texas A&M had a disappointing season this year. The good news is that they pretty much get to run their squad back from last year. The only senior in the rotation was Christian Mekowulu. Assuming that there are no late transfers or draft declarations, this team will be almost completely intact. This can be a good and a bad thing.
The good thing is that they will have a lot of chemistry. Savion Flagg should be returning, so he will once again be the focal point that the team revolves around. He and Wendell Mitchell turned into a strong duo, and they will try to expound on it this summer.
The bad thing is that their recruiting is a complete mess. They have no locks to join the team, and that’s not common this late in the year. They hope to be able to Kobe Brown and perhaps Sahvir Wheeler, but these aren’t lock-hard commitments.
Now that the Aggies have fired Billy Kennedy, there just seems to be a lot up in the air for this year. No one really knows what to expect. A lot of it depends on who A&M bring in as a head coach and who that coach manages to recruit. Hopes remain high in College Station, but they aren’t based in a lot of concrete evidence that things will get better next year.
