But as they have been getting ready for their bowl game, they have been busy on the recruiting trail. The transfer portal opened on December 4, and the Red Raiders have been on fire adding ten players so far. Currently, they have the #14 transfer class and could still add to that. With that said, let's take a look at who will be wearing the scarlet and black.
