Texas A&M likely has some roster spots to fill after this coming season and, on Thursday, Billy Kennedy and company added a piece to the puzzle.

Lancaster point guard TJ Starks announced his commitment to the Aggies, becoming the first pledge in the class of 2017 for A&M.

"First, I want to thank God for allowing me to play the game of basketball," he tweeted. "I thank Him for the opportunities He has given me and the colleges who have offered me. "After speaking with my parents and coaches and much thought I am blessed to say that I am verbally committing to Texas A&M University. "I want to thank all the schools that were recruiting me and seeking interest in me but I am now an Aggie. #GoAggies #GigEm"

The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Starks helped Lancaster to a state title as a junior this past season. In the title game against Fort Bend Elkins, he scored 20 points and added six rebounds.

Starks also had an offer from Oklahoma.
