Texas Tech's New Stars: Redefining Success

0:00On April 30, Texas Tech Basketball has been on fire since 2019, hitting the National Title Game, a sweet 16, another Elite 8, and six more NCAA tournament runs. That's a level of success the Red Raiders never saw before. A few years back, I ranked the top 60 players in program history up through the 2018 season, calling it the Salty 60. Now, with this Elite error rolling, I've updated things by spotlighting 18 standout players from 2019 to today. Most only stuck around one year in Lubbock, but their talent stacks up against the old greats, showing how much better the recruiting game's gotten. Lately, take number 15 on the new list, Jamiis Ramsey, a shooting guard from Arlington, Texas. He was the highest rated recruit ever for Texas Tech. A five-star prospect ranked as high as number 12 nationally, the program's first ever. He balled out as a freshman in 2020, leading the team with 15 points per game, tying for the Steel's lead, grabbing four rebounds, and shooting 44% from the floor, plus 42% from

1:05three on big volume. He became the best statistical freshman in school history, and snagged big 12 freshmen of the year. These modern stars like Ramsey proved Texas Tech's entering a whole new chapter, stacking talent that could redefine the all-time rankings for years to come.
