Texas Tech basketball: The significance of Micah Peavy’s commitment

It’s been a week since Chris Beard and the Texas Tech basketball program landed a commitment from 4-star guard/forward Micah Peavy. The Duncanville, Texas product was teammates last year with current Texas Tech freshman Jahmi’us Ramsey, and many believe he could be an even better player.

Ramsey might remind many people of former Red Raider Zhaire Smith, who was the program’s first one-and-done player in 2017-18. Like Smith, Ramsey is the most explosive athlete on the team and possesses a jaw-dropping leaping ability and quick-twitch reflexes that make him a potential lock-down defender who can guard multiple spots on the court.
