Spanish guard Rubén Domínguez commits to Texas A&M basketball

June 6, 2025

Spanish guard Rubén Domínguez has announced his commitment to Texas A&M.

At 6-foot-6 and 190 pounds, Domínguez has plenty of international experience playing professional basketball as a teenager.

He won a silver medal with Spain at the 2018 FIBA U16 European Championship, averaging 8.9 points per game.

At the 2019 FIBA U16 European Championship, he was named tournament MVP after averaging 13.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists to lead Spain to a gold medal. He won MVP over France’s Victor Wembanyama, the future of the San Antonio Spurs.

While this was six years ago, the potential is still there for Domínguez to bring his game back to that level. Playing at the collegiate level will be a different style of play than the professional basketball he’s used to, but if Bucky McMillan can find a way to get his game to translate, he could be a difference maker next season.

He also led Spain to a fifth-place finish at the 2021 FIBA U19 World Cup, averaging 18.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game.

Most recently, he played in 27 games for Bilbao in Spain and averaged 6.3 points and 1.6 rebounds while shooting 39.6 percent from 3-point land on over three attempts per game and 86.2 percent from the free-throw line.

The 22-year-old will be one of the oldest players on the team next season, but he still has four years of eligibility left in the NCAA.

who knew we could recruit at this level in basketball. love the team bucky is putting together. if we can gel on defense we should be better than expected. tbis guy could potentially be a really nice addition and provide us insane guard depth. that's 6 guards that can play.

He should still be playing for us at age 24 or 25.

Now add more Spanish dishes to the concession stands!

Admissions for athletes appear to be automatic. Regular students apply and most after long waits are not admitted. Question: what are admission rules for athletes vs regular students?

This seems like a huge get. I had no idea that overseas pro players are still eligible. So much experience and maturity. Seems like a source that should be tapped into more.

Love his shots from the elbow and floaters;
so hard to execute, so difficult to defend.

I asked a fair question. Just curious about admissions policy.

I'm interested to see what we are getting here. He looked to be a rising star in 2021, but has been "okay" as a professional player in a high level league (15 minutes per game this season in Liga ACB (the top Spanish league), 6.5 ppg shooting 41% from 3; 22 minute per game last year in the second-tier Spanish league, 11ppg shooting 37% from 3, 14 minute per game the previous year in the second-tier league, 5.6 ppg shooting 27% from 3).

Getting a guy who held his own in a high level professional league as a 22-year old means that we are getting a very nice player, but going from Liga ACB to Texas A&M is a strange move (although maybe not now with NIL). It might just be that he reached his ceiling at a young age and didn't develop further from there. I wonder how long it has been known that he was interested in playing college basketball.
