Earning Texas Tech offer: "Coach Rob Greene came down. I mean Texas Tech is a great school, like it's not much to say besides that. It's an amazing program. I was really happy, obviously tired after practice but then as soon as I got the offer it kind of like rejuvenated me, gave me a boost of energy. I love the school. I love Texas Tech and I've always loved Texas Tech. It was really nice to know that I've added it to my arsenal of schools that I can actually choose to go to. And it's definitely up there. It was just a great feeling. Coach (Greene) was great about it. When he came and did it, he said he loved my game, he said he loved the way I play. He said he's going to go ahead and just throw it out there. So I was very appreciative. It was a great experience. Just overall, definitely one of the moments I'll remember for a while."
