Gotcher teaching young Texas Tech team

The term “blessing in disguise,” may be a cliche, but it’s the most accurate description of Toddrick Gotcher’s career at Texas Tech.

His life has been full of blessings, but not because they’ve strictly been given.

Gotcher has worked for them all — from earning a college basketball scholarship, to expanding the scope of his game under Tubby Smith to expecting to graduate in May with his third Texas Tech degree.

But the biggest blessing of all for Gotcher wasn’t realized until now.

Gotcher understood the only way he was going to go to college was through a scholarship.
