Texas Tech Basketball commitments
Darrion Williams (Nevada)
The loss of Jaylon Tyson certainly hurts Texas Tech but they have another talent combo forward that’s a proven product coming in. Williams is a 6’6 forward that comes from Nevada and was a surprise impact freshman. He averaged 7.6 ppg and a team-leading 7.3 rpg in 30 mpg as a starter. Williams was named the Mountain West Rookie of the Year as well.
Williams had 10 double-digit rebounding games, along with a couple of big scoring performances. His best was a 16-point, 8-rebound, and 5-assist game against Fresno State. The wing is an underrated shooter as well, making 36% of his three-point attempts. Williams is athletic enough to play and guard multiple positions in the Big 12 and will be a nice building block for the program in the future.
Chance McMillian (Grand Canyon)
The 6’2 guard came off the bench in the first two years but broke out as a junior this past season. McMillian averaged 10.9 ppg and 2.1 apg on 49% shooting overall and an impressive 44% from three-point range. His scoring really picked up in the latter half of the year, including 24 points and four assists against Stephen F. Austin on 6/7 from deep.
McMillian will be going from the WAC to the Big 12, no big feat for a transfer. But he’ll have the opportunity to play primarily off the bench next season next to Issacs and if he can outplay both D’maurian Williams and Kerwin Walton, will be a part of the rotation.
