As recently as one week ago, Texas Tech football fans were frustrated by the slow start to the 2018 recruiting class. But with nine commitments since June 12th, the general outlook towards the class has begun to trend upwards.
However, there is an unsettling truth about the recruits that Texas Tech has landed in recent days. These prospects are not highly regarded by recruiting services giving just cause to wonder if these players are capable of being legitimate Big 12 football players.
Only three of the nine players to have committed in the past week (DE Cameron Valentine, QB Alan Bowman and OL Weston Wright) are rated as three-star prospects by Rivals.
