Texas Tech filled a roster spot with LaTrell Hoover from Samuel Clemens high school in San Antonio, playing club for SA Future which is the best club team in San Antonio (my opinion). Depending on who you ask, Hoover is 6’10” to 7’0″ and is said to redshirt the entire year. I suppose if you have an extra spot, then this makes sense and since there are now 15 roster spots available, there’s plenty of space for a full project. It appeared that Hoover was going to do a year at a post-high school academy at Link Hoops, in Missouri.
Huge congrats to 2025 Latrell Hoover for his commitment to Texas Tech Men’s Basketball! Thank you to Coach Mac and Buff for believing in him! #TheFuture pic.twitter.com/RNv5Apxump

Texas Tech general manager Kellen Buffington went on the podcast League Him and this is the most I’ve ever heard Buffington talk and I found it very informative, especially with a kid who has some basketball chops.
Then Buffington went and started his own podcast and his first guest is with Dusty Womble. I did not have a chance to listen to this, maybe will have time tomorrow.
