Top 2017 Basketball Signee Jordan Brangers Will Not Attend Texas Tech

The Texas Tech basketball team struggled all season to find a consistent 3-point shooter. Chris Beard believed that he had solved that problem by signing South Plains Junior College swingman Jordan Brangers.

But on Wednesday, news broke that Brangers has informed Tech that he plans to attend college closer to his home state of Kentucky to be near his grandmother who is in ill health.

In a statement released to the “Lubbock Avalanche Journal”, Brangers said, “After talking with my family, I have decided that it would be best to continue my college athletic career closer to home to be near my grandma in this difficult time.
