Texas A&M HC has massive praise for Wade Taylor IV ahead of home finale

Texas A&M senior guard Wade Taylor IV has been one heck of a player for the Aggies over the past four seasons.

In fact, with two games left remaining in No. 22 Texas A&M's regular-season and the home finale against No. 1 Auburn coming up on Tuesday evening, Taylor has a chance to make history in a big way.

He's 25 points away from being Texas A&M's all-time leading scorer. He's averaging 15.1 points per game on the season, but the Aggies will need a massive game from Taylor to beat the Tigers, so anything is possible in this big spot.

No matter what, though, head coach Buzz Williams believes the guard from Dallas, Texas has earned his spot in Texas A&M history. 

“I personally think what four [Taylor] has done here in his four-year tenure, whether you talk about the wins of the program, his accelerated path and what’s he’s mean to each of the teams that he’s played on? I know it’s not the only record he’ll break but it’s maybe one of the most known. I think he’s the best player that’s ever played here when you add in all of those ingredients," Williams said in his Monday news conference (h/t On3).

Williams has been the head coach at Texas A&M since 2019-20 and he had a stint as an assistant coach with the program years before. He knows Aggies basketball well, so for Taylor IV to get that kind of credit from him before this massive game against Auburn means something.

Taylor's season high of 25 points came in early February against Rutgers, so he absolutely has the juice to break the record against Auburn. 

To do it in his last game at Reed Arena against the No. 1 team in the country would be a terrific way for the Aggies to start off March.
