The first casting
In today’s episode of “Cup of Joe”, we plunge why Texas Tech always dominates university sports conversation. From the growing confidence in the shoulder of Behren Morton to the hoops which almost lock in the last place, as well as days of Big 12 media and everything else – everything is on the table. So take your coffee, lock yourself and let’s talk about the reason why the spotlights do not leave Lubbock anytime soon.
Morning motivation
“Don’t miss something to be great, just because it could also be difficult.”

Texas Tech talks about the city
Whether on the recruitment track in football, softball or having a donor who changes void alone through the university landscape, I do not remember a moment in my life when Texas Tech was mentioned in so many conversations. A new recruit arrives on the portal, a five -star panel, and technology is linked to elite talents across the country – including Ladamion Guyton which is player n ° 1 in class 2027 of Georgia (yes, Bulldog country).
Texas Tech makes the headlines – and for all the right reasons. The people of the country are starting to take note of it, and some probably do not like all the questions they ask about “what Texas Tech does”.
The standard has been established. Technology has positioned itself for long -term stay in almost all the main sports programs. The landscape changes – and “the brand” is no longer a question of football.
What is happening in Lubbock at the moment could be the turning point that reshapes Texas Tech for the years to come.
Morton comes in season with a clean health bill
With all the spotlights on Texas Tech Football this year, the questions around Behren Morton’s shoulder died out for Red Raider fans. But at the Big 12 Media Days, the senior quarterrier put these concerns.
Morton said he felt healthier than ever – both physically and specifically with his shoulder. Although he did not reveal all the details on the off -season procedure, his comments clearly indicated how bad things were. He admitted that he had missed training and took injections of analgesic killers before and during the matches just to stay on the field.
It is a lot to continue to anyone, in particular for a quarter-back leaving, the most examined and most demanding role in football. However, Morton fought and continued to compete. His resilience speaks volumes about his tenacity and leadership.
Now, before the 2025 season, Morton seems to be in a peak form. He dropped weight, completely recovered and revised his daily health routine. Everything indicates a year of escape – not only for Morton, but for the whole of Texas Tech offensive.
QB1 is right where you want. With a clean health assessment and a new system in which Morton is ready to drive the Red Raiders to new heights.
Here is one of his interviews with Big 12 Media Days, in case you have missed.
The list of red raider hoops has almost set for 2025
Before leaving for training the US U19 World Cup team, Grant McCasland told the media that he had planned to add one or two other players to finalize the alignment of Texas Tech basketball in 2025. Now, in mid-July, these spots are still open-and the questions have not disappeared.
Tech Tech finished adding to the list? Not quite. Eligibility problems, logistical obstacles and conversations undergoing behind the scenes could still influence the way these latter elements meet.
Two names remain firmly linked to the Red Raiders: Jaylen Petty and Ben Henshall. Although neither is committed, the two continue to sit high about technology radar as potential additions.
With the fall semester to a few weeks, decisions are coming soon. Since his arrival in Lubbock, McCasland has adopted a methodical approach calculated to build her list – and so far, she has been paid. There are few reasons to doubt your strategy now.
The only question that remains: who is the missing piece – Petty, Henshall, or someone else?
It is not always “Sonny” to Fort Worth, especially with catches like that
He went around our group’s group Redraidersports recently, and let’s just say that it made us laugh. Sonny Dykes taking shots on the transfer portal was less like a strategy and more salt.
It is ironic to hear it questioning continuity through transfers, as if Texas Tech had not built something strong by bringing proven talents. The idea that a full list of transfers cannot freeze? It is an obsolete thought. When players buy and engage in a program, continuity follows. This is not the theory, that’s what’s going on in Lubbock.
And let’s talk about the facts: TCU added 63 transfers In the past four seasons. Texas Tech? 42. So, if we are talking about culture and turnover, maybe Sonny should be a little closer to us.
Throw shadow without receipts? Classic Sonny.
You can hear Sonny’s complete socket and decide for yourself if it looks more like an analysis or desire.
Thank you for paying in the first Joe Cup“It just starts. The next drink is already in preparation and will fall for a few days in a few days, which has made more information, updates, the last hot stick of the sports landscape and everything that could attract my attention last week. Until then, your coffee remains strong and your pride Texas Tech is preparing more than ever.
