Spoelstra: No need to penalize Ball any further
Erik Spoelstra supports no further penalties for LaMelo Ball after flagrant foul.
Texas A&M is actively pursuing Loyola Marymount transfer Jalen Shelley, a standout forward who averaged 13.7 PPG last season. The Aggies recently added point guard PJ Haggerty and are working to retain players amid roster changes.
Texas A&M coach Bucky McMillan signed an extension with the program late last month, and while some in the Aggie fan base felt this was too early, it's clear that the former Samford head coach is one of the rising stars in the SEC after leading the Aggies to the NCAA Tournament in his first season at the helm.
However, given the state of the roster before taking over, several of McMillan's 2025 starters and bench players have left the program due to expired eligibility. Knowing this was the case, McMillan and his coaching staff have been hard at work retaining players, including senior forward Zach Clemence, and after the transfer portal opened last week, Texas A&M landed a commitment from star point guard PJ Haggerty.
Haggerty's addition should result in momentum before the portal closes on April 21, and so far, the Aggies have been in contact with several guards and big men, including Loyola Marymount transfer Jalen Shelley, who is one of the top available forwards in the portal who averaged 13.7 PPG, 6.6 RPG, and 2.7 APG in his final season with the Lions.
Standing 6'8" and 210 pounds, Shelley shot nearly 46% from the field and 28% from beyond the arc, and has garnered significant attention after entering his name, while The Athletic reporter Tobias Bass reported that Texas A&M and five other programs continue to be in contact with the incoming junior.
