Just one day prior to the start of the 2019-20 Texas Tech basketball season, the future of Red Raider hoops grew even brighter when 4-star guard Micah Peavy verbally committed. The Duncanville, Texas product and former high school teammate of current Texas Tech true freshman Jahmi’us Ramsey has long been the apple Chris Beard’s eye and now, he’s set to join the nation’s fastest-rising coach in Lubbock.
Unlike with other recruiting battles, Beard himself took the lead on Peavy’s recruitment and he’s been fostering a relationship with the 6-foot-7 do-it-all floor general for close to two years. Thus, it’s safe to say that Beard views Peavy as a cornerstone of the program’s future.
