In every aspect of life, it is always wonderful to have options. That’s a luxury that Texas Tech basketball head coach Chris Beard will enjoy in 2020-21 more than any coach in program history.
Currently, there are 15 players in the mix for 13 scholarships (which is the maximum allowed by the NCAA). That doesn’t include the possibility that last season’s leading scorer, Jahmi’us Ramsey, could also return after testing the NBA waters.
But what makes next year’s roster so intriguing is the fact that there appears to be no dead weight. In other words, every player that figures to be on Beard’s team will be more than capable of playing a significant role at the Big 12 level.
