"It's hard, and I am here today because of those players. I told them I loved them and that life isn't fair," Turgeon said. "I have had opportunities to leave before, but nothing excited me like A&M."
Texas A&M basketball also brings a quartet of incoming players for 2007. Guards B.J. Holmes and Derrek Lewis, forward Nathan Walkup and heralded center DeAndre Jordan make up the recruiting class.
Turgeon was incredibly pleased with these players' decisions to stay with the team, despite being recruited by a coach who ended up leaving the program.
"I think it shows the character and loyalty these young men possess. I'm really looking forward to next season," Turgeon said.
The Aggies have lost a good portion of what made the team so successful. Three seniors, including two starters, were lost in Law, Antanas Kavaliuskus, and Marlon Pompey.
With a new head coach, a new recruiting class and a new outlook on the upcoming season, the possibility for a repeat of the success the Aggies have become accustomed to looks promising.
