One of the biggest changes in college basketball recruiting over the past handful of years has been the prevalence of graduate transfers.

Texas Tech has already scored a big win in this market by landing center Tariq Owens. But Chris Beard appears not to be satisfied with just one high-profile grad transfer. There are three top transfers Texas Tech continues to heavily recruit in hopes of bolstering next year’s roster.
