Aggies land 2009 ESPN 100 guard Naji Hibbert
According to the Dallas Morning News, ESPN 100 prospect Naji Hibbert has committed to Texas A&M's 2009 recruiting class. Hibbert cited A&M coach Mark Turgeon and his assistants as the main reason for his decision. "They kept with it," he told the paper. "They came when I was doing good and came when I wasn't doing good. I respect that, I respect who they were, and I can't wait to be an Aggie in 2009." Hibbert is the first recruit in the Aggies 2009 class.
ESPN's National Recruiting Director Bob Gibbons praised the Aggies coaching staff for their efforts. "Texas A&M appeared to want Hibbert the most and they simply outworked the opposition," Gibbons said. "The Aggies lead recruiter, assistant coach Scott Spinelli, developed a great relationship with this outstanding wing prospect and after Hibbert's unofficial visit to College Station last September they were clearly the school to beat."
According to his summer coach, Carlton Carrington, his decision came down to two schools. "It came down to Texas A&M and Xavier," he told ESPN.com. "But Hibbert flet that the Aggies playing style and coaching staff were the best for him."
Hibbert averaged 17.0 points and 6.0 rebounds at DeMatha last season. "He impressed me with his perimeter skills, athleticism and all-around team-oriented play at the Marshall County Hoop Fest in December," Gibbons said
