Mr. Intrigue
Robinson. We listed him on the guard preview as well, but he worked with the centers in 2019 and his future could still remain there. He would be in the mold of an Erik McCoy at center, and the Aggies wouldn’t mind having a repeat of a guy like that.
The spotlight's on...
Matthews. With such a presigious lineage, people have been waiting for him to break into the starting lineup. It hasn’t worked out that way yet, with him redshirting in 2018 and getting a handful of opportunities with the second team last year. He didn’t stand out in those opportunities, either. The Aggies could get away with a solid year from McCollum at center and then hand things over to him, but if Matthews steps up his game and makes the decision difficult for the coaches, they would be quite happy.
