Texas A&M's basketball landscape is getting an exciting new addition for the 2025 season as Coach Bucky McMillan enriches his staff by bringing Neb Exantus on board. Announced on Friday, Exantus, a former assistant at Samford, will now call Bryan-College Station home.
Exantus's journey to Texas A&M is crafted from a decade of rich basketball experience, starting with his impressive tenure at West Oaks Academy in Orlando, Florida. There, he established himself as a key figure in the AAU circuit, working with renowned programs like the Showtime Ballers and Team Breakdown. His knack for identifying talent and nurturing young players has made him a formidable force in youth basketball circles.
After making a significant impact in Florida, Exantus transitioned to Samford, where he spent four seasons as a pivotal assistant under McMillan. His coaching pedigree was already noted with a previous stint at his own alma mater, Southern New Hampshire University, where he contributed for a season.
Now, as he steps into his new role at Texas A&M as the Director of Player Development and Personnel, expectations are high. Exantus is set to employ his seasoned eye and developmental acumen to take the Aggies' basketball program to the next level. His expertise promises to inject fresh energy and strategic depth into the team, likely paving the way for both immediate improvements and long-term success in the competitive college basketball landscape.
While anticipation builds, fans and players alike are eager to see how Exantus's influence will shape the Aggies' fortunes, both on and off the court. His track record suggests that Texas A&M is in for an exciting period of growth, and the college basketball world will be watching closely.
