By now, most Texas Tech football fans are more than aware of the program’s struggles on the recruiting trail in the final years of the Kliff Kingsbury tenure. That’s why many have been closely watching how Matt Wells and his staff put together their first true recruiting class.
If Wells can show significant improvement in 2020 and bring in a class that is significantly more highly-regarded than the last three Red Raider classes, which have had an averaged ranking of 61.6 in the nation, then optimism among the fan base will begin to rise significantly. And if he is able to bring in a number of quality prospects this summer, he will score a significant string of victories before ever coaching a game at Jones Stadium.
