Stansbury was seen as an instrumental addition to the staff prior to the 2014-2015 season, and he had a heavy hand in A&M's extremely successful recent recruiting class.
A formal press conference to introduce Stansbury is set for 1 p.m.
Gig 'em, coach. Thank you for your contributions to the program, and best of luck at the next level.
