The 2021-22 Texas Tech basketball team got appreciably better on Wednesday despite not adding a new player to the roster. That’s because Terrence Shannon Jr. announced in a stirring social media video featuring Ronald Ross that he intended to run it back for another year as a Red Raider.
Having entered his name in the NBA Draft but deciding not to hire an agent, Shannon had until 11:59 PM on Wednesday to withdraw from the draft or else take his chances that his name would be called by an NBA team later this summer.
