Texas A&M Signs Two Guards for 2027 Class
Chase Richardson and Dylan Jones joined the Aggies' 2027 high school signing class this week.
Updated on Nov. 12, 2026 in Basketball
Texas A&M men's basketball signed guards Chase Richardson and Dylan Jones to its 2027 high school signing class. Richardson signed Wednesday and Jones signed Thursday of the same week.
Why it matters
The additions give the Aggies two guards from the 2027 recruiting cycle, with Jones ranked among the top 35 prospects nationally. Recruiting classes shape the roster depth a program can build in future seasons.
Dylan Jones, a 6-foot-6, 210-pound four-star prospect ranked in the top 35 nationally, averaged 16.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game as a junior. Chase Richardson, a 6-foot-1, 170-pound four-star guard ranked in the top 100, averaged 18.3 points and 5.8 assists per game in the same season, and how their skills translate to Division I play remains untested.

Season Trajectory
The signings follow the early signing period that lets programs lock in high school recruits before the traditional spring signing window. Adding a top-35 prospect and a top-100 guard gives the program a foundation for its 2027 roster as competition for prospects intensifies.
Fantasy and recruiting followers can track Jones and Richardson as they enter college basketball, since their prep numbers offer a baseline for expected usage. The signings also mean Texas A&M's 2027 class is taking shape with two guards who could compete for backcourt minutes.
The takeaway
Recruiting classes are built years in advance, so early commitments like these signal a program's direction well before players step on campus. Readers following the Aggies can watch how these guards develop against college competition.
