Social media reacts to Brice Williams finding a home with the Detroit Pistons
Former Nebraska basketball star Brice Williams signed a contract with the Detroit Pistons on Friday afternoon. Williams will get a chance to continue his basketball career after a successful 2024-25 campaign with the Huskers. He averaged 20.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.1 steals per game. He also proved to be an efficient shooter, shooting 38.5% from three-point range. Williams transferred from Charlotte before the 2023-24 season and quickly established himself as a key scorer for the Nebraska basketball program. He was able to acclimate himself to Fred Hoiberg's offense and provide scoring touch both from beyond the arc and with his midrange game.

New Texas A&M sharpshooter from Spain has arrived in College Station
Rubén Domínguez has made it to the United States and officially arrived in College Station last night 👍The 6'6' SG shot 41.5% from three on 164 attempts last season (3.3 3PA per game) in Spain's top pro of the most exciting additions for A&M has finally arrived ‼️ Texas A&M's basketball program is in good hands under new head coach Bucky McMillan, who has all but rebuilt a roster that lost every player outside of sophomore forward Chris McDermott after former head coach Buzz Williams departed for Maryland two months ago. Texas A&M Athletic Director Trev Alberts made the swift and correct decision in taking a chance on the 41-year-old coach, who spent his last five seasons coaching Samford, including leading the Bulldogs to their program's first NCAA Tournament appearance in 20-plus seasons. Right out of the gate, McMillan landed 12 players from the transfer portal, while securing a commitment from Spanish guard Rubén Domínguez, who is by far one of the best shooters internationally, and could become an instant contributor as soon as the 2025 season. During his productive career in Spain, Domínguez accumulated 153 games played, 5.7 points per game, 1.4 rebounds, and a .362 field goal percentage. Domínguez also received Spanish ACB Week 13 Player of the Week honors in 2025. Shooting 42% from beyond the arc, the sharpshooter has one of the quickest releases you'll see, similar to former international and Tennessee guard Santiago Véscovi. This summer, Domínguez was not present for the early part of Texas A&M's summer workouts, but has reportedly arrived in College Station, according to his latest Instagram post. As TexAgs analyst Luke Evangelist states, forwards Federiko Federiko and Rashaun Agee are the only other two transfer additions yet to arrive. Still, they are expected to arrive in College Station in early July. Contact/Follow us @AggiesWire on X and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&M news, notes and opinions.
