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.

Texas A&M men's basketball lands huge commitment from three-point deadeye Spanish guard
The Texas A&M men's basketball program landed a commitment from one of the most decorated three-point shooters from overseas on Friday morning. First-year head coach Buck McMillan continued an impressive offseason with the recruitment of Bilbao Basket's Rubén Domínguez. The Spanish guard helped lead his team to the FIBA Europe Cup title with his deadeye shooting from three-point range. Advertisement Here is the official announcement from Jon Chepkevich, who is the director of scouting for Draft Express: Domínguez has been a superstar for his home country and the Bilbao Basket organization for years now, as the 6'6" guard aided Spain to a silver medal at the 2018 FIBA U16 European Championship and helped push Bilbao Basket over the hump to secure the 2025 FIBA Championship title. In his career playing for Spain, he has accumulated 153 games played, 5.7 points per game, 1.4 rebounds per contest and a .362 field goal percentage. Domínguez also received Spanish ACB Week 13 Player of the Week honors in 2025. Advertisement The addition of the Spanish guard adds to an already impressive recruiting class put together by McMillan and the Texas A&M coaching staff. He joins names such as Creighton guard Pop Isaacs and Indiana forward Mackenzie Mgbako, both signed with the Aggies during the offseason. As time inches closer to the Aggies hitting the hardwood in Reed Arena this season, McMillan's roster continues to glimmer with promise at all positions, but especially at guard.
