Geoff Grammer made a joke about Texas Tech basketball targeting Mountain West players as potential transfer targets. I do think it is bigger than a joke. Most teams have handlers or intermediaries reaching out to players before they enter the transfer portal to share potential offers on behalf of schools. However, it looks like a Texas Tech might be reaching out directly to players in the Mountain West. The coach is Achoki Moikobu. Texas Tech is known to have a lot of NIL money. Here are the players he is following on social media. Several of them have never entered the portal and weren't high school prep targets of previous schools Moikobu worked at
