Texas A&M favored to land Texas transfer guard Jordan Pope
Summary

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.
