Texas Tech finished with a respectable 7-6 record in 2023 and even finished above .500 in the Big 12 with a 5-4 conference record.

The Red Raiders weren't able to bring anyone in from the portal in the spring window but managed to only lose three guys. With a squad that can be built upon next season, the Red Raiders are looking good heading into 2024.

Texas Tech also brought in a lot of talent in the winter window wich shows promise. Watch out, the Red Raiders could be a dark horse next season.
