Insider claims St. John's transfer Jaiden Glover attracting interest from Bucky McMillan's Texas A&M amid Kentucky, Gonzaga links

St. John's transfer guard Jaiden Glover is attracting interest from Texas A&M, amid reports linking him to Kentucky, Gonzaga, Indiana, Creighton and NC State, among others.

College basketball insider Jon Rothstein reported the development on his X account, citing Glover’s agent, Aaron Turner of Verus. Rothstein noted that the Bucky McMillan-coached Aggies reached out to the 6-foot-4 four-star guard out of Brooklyn.

In addition to the Aggies, other schools interested in acquiring the services of the incoming sophomore are Indiana, Loyola Chicago, Kentucky, Gonzaga, Virginia Tech, NC State, Creighton, UAB, Temple, Saint Joseph's, St. Bonaventure, La Salle and UMass.

Bucky McMillan signed a five-year deal with Texas A&M on April 4 following the departure of former head coach Buzz Williams to Maryland.

McMillan led Samford to two Southern Conference titles and one NCAA tournament appearance in his five seasons, posting an overall record of 99-52. His teams recorded four straight 20-win seasons.

Known for his fast-paced style of play dubbed “Bucky Ball,” McMillan has earned three SoCon Coach of the Year honors.

Jaiden Glover looks to bring his athleticism, defensive skills to his new team

Jaiden Glover was a highly-touted athlete who could soar for a windmill dunk, run fast and shoot 3-pointers. His defense and alertness were among the nation's best in his batch.

His advanced skill set on both sides of the court pushed St. John's coach Rick Pitino to pursue him. He eventually committed to the Red Storm over suitors Seton Hall, Creighton, Illinois, Villanova, Providence, Ohio State and St. Joseph’s.

Furthermore, Glover was ranked 47th in the nation in the Class of 2024 and 13th among small forwards per On3.com's industry rankings.

However, his 2024-25 season got off to a rough start, and he was used sparingly, averaging only 6.4 minutes per game. The Patrick School product tallied 2.2 points and shot just 34.7% in 22 games for St. John's.

He had a career-high 11 points against Harvard on Nov. 30 but never scored more than seven points after that offensive outburst. Glover sustained a wrist injury on Feb. 12 against Villanova, forcing the team to shut him down for the rest of the season.

Jaiden Glover entered the transfer portal weeks after St. John's lost to Arkansas in the second round of the NCAA Tournament to find a new team that will fully maximize his talent next season.
