Texas Tech currently has a top 2 recruiting class, per 247. Yes, we are all well aware they will not finish anywhere near that come early signing period. But the staff identified need positions, relentlessly pursued Texas kids, and leveraged relationships across the state to secure the services of solid talent.
A lot of their targets were lower rated, or unrated kids they identify as being about to explode on the scene or are future development products once they get to campus.
That strategy has never been more correct in the chase for Calvin Simpson-Hunt. Texas Tech offered first, and has secured his commitment.
