The Red Raiders may have an upper hand in this recruiting battle, as Ugochukwu is a Texas native. He attended Clements High School in Sugar Land (TX) which is roughly an eight hour drive away from Lubbock, and it sounds like Texas Tech is working to bring him back to the Lone Star state.

As of this writing, the Red Raiders have added five players from the portal during the offseason – all four-star prospects. Those players include:

  • Josiah Moseley , four-star PF – Villanova
  • LeJuan Watts , four-star SG – Washington State
  • Tyeree Bryan , four-star SG – Santa Clara
  • Luke Bamgboye , four-star C – VCU
  • Donovan Atwell , four-star SG – UNC Greensboro
