We all knew that for this year’s version of Texas Tech basketball to reach the lofty heights of the previous two Red Raider teams, some of the seven freshmen on this roster were going to have to grow up in a hurry. While you could argue that true freshmen Jahmi’us Ramsey and Terrence Shannon Jr. arrived fully grown and ready to compete at the highest levels, the Red Raiders have been waiting for at least one more member of the 2019 signing class to emerge.
It now appears that redshirt freshman Kevin McCullar Jr. is that guy. As the importance of games has ramped up during Big 12 play, the 6-foot-6 guard is playing his best ball of the season.
