The college basketball transfer portal has delivered its latest notable move, with former Texas A&M guard Rubén Dominguez finding a new home in the Big East. The 6-foot-6 sharpshooter has officially signed with the Xavier Musketeers, bringing his proven perimeter scoring to Cincinnati.
Dominguez made a significant impact in his lone season with the Aggies, starting 27 of his 34 games. He averaged 10.2 points per game, but his most impressive stat was his elite three-point accuracy. Dominguez connected on a blistering 40.0% of his attempts from deep, averaging over six tries per game, establishing himself as a genuine floor-spacing threat.
His season was a tale of two halves, showcasing his high-level potential. He opened the campaign on fire, scoring in double figures in eight of the first nine games and erupting for a career-high 30 points against Manhattan. While his production dipped later in the year, his proven shooting stroke and size on the wing make him a valuable addition for a Xavier program looking to climb the Big East standings.
Bringing a professional pedigree from his time playing in Spain, Dominguez will have two seasons of eligibility remaining. He joins a Musketeers squad under head coach Richard Pitino, aiming to improve upon last season's record. Ranked as a top-25 shooting guard in the portal, Dominguez's commitment marks a key offseason acquisition for Xavier as they retool their roster for the competitive battles ahead.
