๐ Unrestricted Free Agents:
MalikโฏBeasley โ Coming off a strong season (16.3โฏPPG, over 300 3โpointers) but facing a federal gambling investigation around prop bets. Rumors suggest he might have to take a minimum deal amid legal uncertainties .
AlโฏHorford โ Unrestricted veteran center still on the market .
CP3 (ChrisโฏPaul) โ One-year deal reportedly possible with the Bucks; sought after for veteran leadership .
AmirโฏCoffey โ Tagged as a likely Timberwolves target .
RussellโฏWestbrook โ Still available; rumors he could land with the Kings .
MalcolmโฏBrogdon โ Potential fit with the Clippers .
ThomasโฏBryant โ Listed as a free-agent center .
PreciousโฏAchiuwa, ChrisโฏBoucher, GaryโฏPaytonโฏII โ All still available, with Boucher and Payton II featured as targets for teams like the Warriors .
Restricted Free Agents (RFA):
JonathanโฏKuminga โ Might sign elsewhere via signโandโtrade (Kings rumored), but Golden State holds matching rights .
JoshโฏGiddey โ Expected to reโsign with Chicago; Bulls retain matching rights .
CamโฏThomas, QuentinโฏGrimes โ Featured on RFA lists .
Giddey and Kuminga: Likely staying put unless a signโandโtrade occursโteams can match offers.
Beasley: Elite shooter but legal uncertainties may push contract value down.
Veteran role players (Horford, Paul, Brogdon, etc.): Still valued for experience, leadership, and role specialized skills.
Younger options (Thomas, Grimes): May be waiting for qualifying offers or franchise decisions.
—Secret 5โStar Texas A&M Weaponโ
I found no reputable confirmation (e.g., from SI, NCAA sources, ESPN, or credible recruiting services) verifying that TexasโฏA&M has landed a secret 5โstar recruit as suggested in that soccercompleteinfo link or Facebook posts .
What we do know is:
TexasโฏA&M recently secured Brandon Arrington, a fiveโstar 2026 athlete, via official channels .
They also added Bryce PerryโWright, a fiveโstar OL for the 2026 class .
Lamar Brown, a fiveโstar DL, gave a recruitment hint but hasn’t officially committed .
So, while A&M has landed legitimate fiveโstar recruits recently, the โsecret superstarโ narrative looks like unverified hypeโlikely from untrustworthy sources.
Your NBA list holds true: many are indeed still available or pending RFAs. See the breakdown above for contract likelihoods.
The TexasโฏA&M โsecretโ recruit story is unsubstantiated. They do have confirmed fiveโstar commits, but nothing matching the viral claim.
