For the 6-foot-8 Adkins the offer was his fourth overall, and second in-state offer.

Visit to Texas Tech: "They gave us a little tour. I liked the tour and then we went to the game, watched the game for a little while. It was a tough game but they came out with the win. They fought hard, I like to see that."

Connection with the staff: "They've been recruiting me for a while. I talk to Buff (Kellen Buffington). He's a great coach. I went to The Next Wave Camp where he was hosting it. It was a great experience for me and I just loved it.

He's trying to build a strong group that could take them to the championship, win games and a build a legacy."

Plans to return to Lubbock for a future visit? "Yes, most definitely."

Opportunity to stay close to home for college: "It means a lot, you know? I love getting offers that are in Texas, but I'm open to anything for real."

Other schools: Adkins has 4 offers to date, but a few more could be coming soon.

"I have heard from Texas State and UNLV, and a few other schools. A school that I would want to starting recruiting me would be like Duke or Texas."

Things he wants to improve on this summer: "I would love to improve my handle, help my team even more with extra ball handling."
