Micah Hudson's commitment is proof of concept of Joey McGuire's build

Joey McGuire's hiring as head coach of Texas Tech signaled a shift in priorities for the program. Five-star wide receiver Micah Hudson’s pledge on Monday night could be remembered as the statement-making moment of his tenure.

Not only did Tech fully embrace the idea of hiring a true program builder by picking McGuire, the move was also a statement of intent to relentlessly recruit the state of Texas, something that the previous head coach didn’t make as much of a concerted effort to do, and proof that you can bring high-level talent to Lubbock.
