Texas A&M head coach Buzz Williams racked up four new commitments in the 2019 class on Saturday.
It was quite a haul for the Aggies, as they had no commits in the class entering the weekend after Williams took over for former coach Billy Kennedy.
But Williams got to work quickly, and it started by landing 4-star guard Cashius McNeilly, who will reclassify from the 2020 class.

Texas A&M picked up commitments from two other incoming freshmen as well, with 3-star prospects Andre Gordon and Yavuz Gultekin announcing their decisions to head to College Station.

Williams also added one player from the JUCO ranks, as 6-5 shooting guard Quentin Jackson joins the group after playing at College of Central Florida.

Obviously, this is a great start for Williams and his staff as they attempt to get the program back near the top of the increasingly competitive SEC.
Despite making two Sweet 16 appearances in three seasons, Kennedy was fired after the Aggies struggled to a 14-18 record this season.
