ISO Spotlight: Digging deeper into Texas A&M's 8-0 start
The Texas A&M Aggies are playing like the best team in Texas after using depth to fuel an 8-0 start to the season.
Earlier this week, I briefly touched on Texas A&M and its strong play to start the 2020-21 college basketball season, but the 8-0 start for the Aggies deserves a deeper look. How is a team that lost its top player from last season playing better basketball than they were in the 2019-20 season?
Depth, for one. While two key players from last year — Chennedy Carter and Shambria Washington — have moved on, the team returned the rest of the key rotation pieces and then added some highly-regarded transfers in Jordan Nixon, Destiny Pitts, and Alexis Morris. Another transfer, Zaay Green, hasn't played yet but was a top-10 recruit out of Duncanville.
