Today from Lubbock, TX on Locked On Texas Tech: We discuss Texas Tech's latest portal acquisition, LeJuan Watts from Washington State. Watts, a versatile forward, is seen as a potential replacement for Darrion Williams. He's an efficient player who can score inside and out, shooting 42% from three-point range. Grant McCasland and his staff view Watts as a top priority, evidenced by his reported $1.75 million salary. We note his ability to play multiple positions, including point guard in a recent post season game. The addition of Watts, along with Christian Anderson, JT Toppin, and Tyeree Bryan, forms a strong nucleus for next season's team. We speculate on potential preseason rankings, with some analysts suggesting Texas Tech could be a top-10 or even top-5 team. We also discuss the broader impact of Texas Tech's aggressive portal strategy in both basketball and football. This increased visibility may lead to more casual viewers for Texas Tech games and heightened interest in the program's performance. We acknowledge that while some may root against Tech due to their spending, others are simply curious to see how the investments translate on the field and court. Join the Matador Mob today!
