Texas A&M is reportedly the favorite to sign guard Jordan Pope, a transfer from Texas, following a recent court ruling that grants additional eligibility to players from the 2022 class. Pope, who rehabilitated from foot surgery while at Texas, averaged 13.1 points last season and is expected to fit well into Texas A&M's fast-paced play style. Texas lacks a roster spot for him, pushing him toward an opportunity at Texas A&M under head coach Bucky McMillan. The Aggies have a spot available for Pope while they await his decision.
- •Jordan Pope previously played at Oregon State before transferring to Texas.
- •He averaged 13.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists last season.
- •Pope had a strong performance in Texas' win over Gonzaga in the Sweet 16.
- •Texas A&M has kept a roster spot open for potential transfers.
- •The decision is pending as Pope considers his next move.
