The recruiting cycle continues to spin for Texas Tech men’s basketball coach Chris Beard.
On Monday, Springdale Southwest Christian Academy (Ark.) guard Avery Benson agreed to a preferred walk-on agreement to play with the Red Raiders.
Benson, a 6-foot-3, 177-pound shooting guard per 247Sports, announced his decision on Twitter.
“It’s super exciting,” said Benson, who visited Texas Tech during the last week of April with Putnam (Connecticut) Science Academy’s Malik Ondigo. “Coach Beard is a phenomenal man and a great guy. He made me feel like family and at home from the time he offered me back when he was at (Arkansas) Little-Rock.
