Through what has been a quiet and disappointing offseason for Grant McCasland and Texas Tech, there is finally some movement in favor of the Red Raiders.
Cruz Davis to Visit Lubbock
Hoftrsa Guard Cruz Davis, the CAA Player of the Year, is officially visiting the campus today and has been heavily linked to Texas Tech in the past few weeks.
The 6-foot-3 guard had an incredible season with the Hoftsra Pride, averaging over 20+ points per game with 3.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game as well. He also shot over 40% from behind the arch, and led Hofstra to a NCAA tournament appearance after winning the CAA conference championship.
Davis was a major factor behind the Pride’s success last season, and was part of the reason that Hofstra was such a popular Cinderella pick when entering the tournament. Although that ultimately didn’t come to fruition, there’s no doubt Davis showed the world his skillset and that he belongs on a bigger stage. The good news is that Texas Tech has that to offer.
Texas Tech has been quiet in the portal activity so far, and this move could finally gain the Red Raiders some desperately needed momentum. With the news that Christian Anderson will not be returning, and Jaylen Petty transferring to UCLA, there is a major void at the point guard position. Landing Davis to fill that void would be a huge step towards a hopefully successful next season in Lubbock…
