Do you think Tech makes a bowl this year?

That's hard to imagine. We have two likely wins in Kansas and Iowa State, but then we would have to win twice against either #5 Baylor, at #9 TCU, #11 Oklahoma, an improved West Virginia team and an always tough Texas squad. Right now I would say that Tech finishes 5-7, but going 6-6 would help with recruiting and other aspects.

Do you think Tyron Johnson will select Clemson or Texas Tech?

If I had to guess right now, I would say Texas Tech. He's been interested in us for so long, he's taking his only official visit to Tech this weekend and Kevin Curtis is recruiting him. Every time the coaches have a chance to meet with Tyron Johnson, they do so, forming a long relationship with him. Plus it doesn't help that Tech has one of the Top QBs in the nation in Stidham and two 4-star offensive linemen. Texas Tech is in a great position to get him. I hope he picks the Red Raiders

Where is Ian Sadler?

He's behind the depth chart right now behind the likes of Marquez, Grant, Batson and Davis. He got some playing time this weekend, but I don't think we'll be seeing a lot of him this year. Still has a lot to learn

How many years for Tech's basketball to turn it around? How will the new recruits fill the holes left by transfer/graduates/injuries?

I think it'll take three more years. Texas Tech is young right with 7 new recruits, but Tubby is recruiting some great athletes and guys that could help lead Tech to the tourney in 2 or 3 years. By 2017-2018 season, we'll be respected and ready to make noise. As for the new guys, I think they'll struggle at first with the holes left, but Tubby has been preparing these guys, and I think they have the athletic ability and effort to make an impact immediately.

Who is your favorite future, current, or past Tech Athlete and why?

Ben Staton
Got to go with Wes Welker. A small athlete that many people disrespected coming out of high school and college and flat out proved everyone wrong. When I played football, everyone always called me Welker because I was small, but shifty and a speedster. Plus he was on the New England Patriots. My favorite athletes right now though are Jakeem Grant, Toddrick Gotcher and Eric Gutierrez

I believe that a person's favorite all time Tech QB says a lot about them. Who is yours and why?

I haven't been a Tech fan for long. I used to be a Texas fan (god bless my soul), but I started to fall in love with the school in 2010 and started watching Tech sports in 2012. By default, it would be Doege, but I think I would've like Kingsbury the best if I watched Tech back then. He's got a never give up attitude, a cool personality and plays with passion.

Baylor peeps seem to think they can flip Stidham. Do you think they have even the slightest chance?

They have a shot, but that's about it. Art Briles helped Stephenville become a 4A powerhouse, so Stidham does have respect for him. Plus, he could create a legacy there also. Baylor already has a QB committed in 2015 however, so I don't think he'll go there.

Do you know anything about a Jorge Garica for baseball from San Diego, CA? He is claiming he was offered by Tech and Indiana.

Unfortunately, no. It's hard to find information about baseball recruits, and I only started to cover baseball recruiting like a month ago. I'll keep an eye on that name though

Are you at all worried about Stidham?

Not really, here's why. First off, he's going to learn from one of the best QB gurus in the past 5 years. Secondly, he wants to create a legacy for a program like Manziel did for A&M. Thirdly, he's been recruiting big names like Fehoko and Mitchell to come here. Finally, he knows people going to Tech, including his GF. I don't think Stidham is going anywhere

Do you have any concerns about Stidham? He was the "mystery" qb that visited Oregon. He also visited Baylor recently.

Eh, not really. I'm about 90% confident that Stidham will stay committed to the Red and Black. Sometimes recruits like taking visits to see different campuses and experience a different type of football setting. Heck, I want to go to A&M's campus at some point, but will I go to school there? Hell no! Some recruits just like going to other schools and see how they run things.

Do you ever feel like te creepiest creeper?

HAHA Actually yes, I feel like the stalker sometimes. It was weird when I first started looking at recruits twitter pages, but I got over it after a while. It's just strange to look at someone's twitter and see their tweets, yet they don't know who you are. I can't imagine how recruits feel when random fans start retweeting them. I try to give a tweet a few minutes before I retweet it, so it doesn't seem creepy.

Guessing game: Who will be the next 3 to pull the trigger on Tech? Also, not really recruiting, but what is the deal with Michael Starts? Heard he was back in Lbk

It's hard to say who the "next 3" are. I have an idea who could commit, but I think some will do so much further down the road than other guys that I don't think will commit soon, but end up doing so. So far, Stidham, Ellison and Mitchell were the only ones I wasn't surprised about. I don't want to jinx myself, but some recruits to keep an eye on are Courtney Wallace, Jaelan Austin and Darrion Daniels. As for Starts, all I know is that he went to Lubbock Monday morning. I could guess and say he moved there and started Summer II classes, but I'm not really sure. That's all I know.
