As expected, the Texas Tech basketball program is in the top five schools for Jonathan Kuminga, the most coveted recruit in the nation.

Friday, the wildest dream of Texas Tech basketball fans came one small step closer to coming to fruition. That’s because the Red Raiders made the cut for the top five of Jonathan Kuminga.

The top high school player in the nation regardless of classification is technically a junior but there is a belief around recruiting circles that he may reclassify to the class of 2020 meaning he would be on campus next season.
