ESPN 100 center Tyler Davis headlines Texas A&M's second-ranked class on ESPN.com. Aggies head coach Billy Kennedy announced Davis' signing along with three other ESPN 100 prospects on Wednesday, the first day of the early signing period.
"Tyler is the first guy who committed to us in this class and really got this whole thing going," Kennedy told the school's website. "He's from a great family and great school at Plano West. On the court, he’s a big-body guy who can score around the basket and also step out and make a 15-footer. He does so many things well. He’s got a great motor and can pass the ball, but one of the biggest things I like about him is he’s got a nastiness and a toughness about him on the court."
The other signees for Kennedy and the Aggies are ESPN 100 center Elijah Thomas, ESPN 100 small forward D.J. Hogg and ESPN 100 shooting guard Admon Gilder.
"Elijah is a very versatile player and one of the first guys we offered a scholarship to three years ago," Kennedy said. "He comes from a great family and basketball program at Lancaster High School.
"I really think D.J. is the best shooter in the country. He can put it on the floor as well as do a lot of things on the perimeter, but the one thing he really excels at is shooting the ball and scoring."
“Admon is a combo guard who can really score. He's in the mold of Dominique Kirk and Donald Sloan, a guard who can play any of the one, two or three spots."
Texas A&M's class ranks No. 2 overall on ESPN.com.
