A Glimpse into Texas Tech Basketball’s Dynamic Starting Lineup for 2024-25

The wait is almost over for Texas Tech basketball fans, with the 2024-25 season just around the corner. As the Red Raiders gear up for another exciting campaign, let’s take a closer look at the dynamic starting lineup that Grant McCasland could field.

The Red Raiders are gearing up for another exciting season

The transfer portal madness of the spring and early summer has brought renewed excitement for next season. McCasland has once again worked his magic, bringing in a talented transfer class that has fans buzzing with anticipation.

Last offseason, McCasland managed to bring in six transfers to round out his first roster in Lubbock. This year, he’s done even better, with a transfer class that currently ranks No. 18 in the nation according to 247Sports.com.

With the recent signing of New Mexico forward JT Toppin, the roster is close to complete, with only two scholarships left to hand out. So, what can we expect from the Red Raiders’ starting lineup?

Point Guard: Elijah Hawkins

At the point guard spot, Tech will be led by Elijah Hawkins, one of the best facilitators in the nation. The Minnesota transfer is a true floor general, averaging 7.5 assists per game to go along with 9.5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game last season.

While Hawkins may be undersized at 5-foot-11, he’s a terrific option at point guard. He’s the best pure point guard Tech will have had since Keenan Evans, and he’ll be the piston that drives the Red Raider engine.

As the season approaches, fans can’t wait to see what this dynamic starting lineup has in store. With McCasland at the helm, the Red Raiders are poised for another exciting campaign.
