PJ Haggerty has committed to Texas A&M as a major transfer portal addition to Bucky McMillan's squad.
Texas A&M and recently-extended head coach Bucky McMillan have just landed one of the best scorers in the transfer portal as former Kansas State guard PJ Haggerty announced his commitment to the Aggies on Friday.
Haggerty averaged 23.4 points per game for the Wildcats in the Big 12 last season and will now play at a fifth different school in as many years. His scoring average ranked fourth in the entire country and came on respectable shooting splits (48 percent overall, 35 percent 3-point, 70 percent free throw).
Those should do wonders for the type of offense McMillan runs. His up-tempo system demands toughness, pace and guards who can attack before the defense gets set. Haggerty is a prototypical fit.
Beginning his college career in the 2022-23 season, the journeyman Haggerty has suited up for TCU (redshirted after six games), Tulsa, Memphis and Kansas State before joining Texas A&M.
At Memphis, he was named AAC Player of the Year and a Second Team All-American after averaging 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, and carried that production into his lone season in Manhattan, Kansas.
The 6-4 shooting guard was named the Big 12 Transfer of the Year this past season.
Now, the Crosby, Texas native returns to his home state and looks to build on a solid foundation laid by McMillan.
The first-year coach finished the regular season 21-11 and 11-7 in SEC play despite many odds stacked against him.
McMillan arrived in College Station last spring with almost nothing in place and had to build an entire roster through the transfer portal just to get the program on the floor.
That alone made this past season unusual. Losing former Indiana forward Mackenzie Mgbako early only added to the challenge, forcing Texas A&M to lean even harder into a smaller, guard-driven identity built around perimeter shooting, pace, and relentless defensive pressure.
That transfer portal momentum has now carried into a premier commitment from Haggerty.
At the time of his commitment, On3 had Haggerty ranked as the No. 6 player available in the portal, proving he has the pedigree to be a major contributor in the SEC.
