Texas Tech football: Dozens of top recruits visit before hiatus

They say that timing is everything. In the case of the Texas Tech football program, the timing was on their side as just days before the coronavirus outbreak of 2020 shut down all football activities, Matt Wells and his coaches were able to hold the year’s biggest recruiting weekend.

There was once a time when the top recruiting period of the football calendar was in the summer when prospects had plenty of time to take visits and participate in camps put on by programs they were interested in. But the implementation of the late December signing window has sped up the process for many of the top players in the nation and now, spring has become a prime window during which Texas Tech likes to bring tons of targets to Lubbock.
