Since the moment that he entered the transfer portal earlier this week, Texas Tech basketball fans have been intrigued by the prospect of 7-foot-3 center Matt Haarms joining the Red Raiders. The problem was that we didn’t know if the former Purdue star was interested in playing for Chris Beard. Saturday, we got confirmation that he is indeed considering Texas Tech as the Red Raiders are included among a group of 10 teams that he is still evaluating as landing spots for his final season.
That in and of itself is a significant win because Haarms was contacted by over 40 programs in the wake of his announcement.
