Chris Beard’s Texas Tech basketball program has landed one of the best players in the NCAA transfer portal in Jamarius Burton, formerly of Wichita State. But the question is whether or not he will figure into next season’s plans given that he’s an undergraduate transfer.
With Burton being just a junior next season, Red Raider fans have even more reason to pay close attention to next month’s NCAA vote on whether to grant all student-athletes a one-time transfer without penalty regardless of their classification.
Needless to say, should that change be enacted, it will usher in a new era of college athletics.
