Texas A&M sophomore point guard Alex Robinson will transfer from the program, according to a release from the school. The 6-foot-1 Robinson is a former top-100 recruit who played a lot of reserve minutes as a freshman, but it appears that the Aggies might have recruited over Robinson at his position.

After averaging 18.8 minutes per game as a freshman, Robinson didn’t play in Texas A&M’s season-opening win over SC Upstate as freshman Admon Gilder came off the bench to contribute 16 points. Texas A&M also added graduate transfer guard Anthony Collins this offseason and senior Alex Caruso is also playing in front of Robinson. With the Aggies adding a top-100 point guard in J.J. Caldwell in the Class of 2016 for next season, Robinson would have had to battle for consistent minutes the next few seasons.

Because of the aforementioned depth at guard, Texas A&M should be able to withstand the loss of Robinson if they stay healthy this season. As a former top-100 prospect and a talented floor leader, Robinson will be an interesting transfer target for a school looking for a new point guard. Robinson averaged 5.2 points, 2.6 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game last season for the Aggies.
