Haggerty, the No. 5 overall player in the portal and No. 2 point guard from Kansas State, committed to Texas A&M on Friday after Wade and LSU were in the running along with North Carolina State, Ole Miss and Texas.

Texas A&M will be his fifth school in five years as he red-shirted at TCU as a freshman in 2022-23 before playing one season at Tulsa, one at Memphis and one at Kansas State.
