Texas Tech Red Raiders News

Jamichael Stillwell - Will be eligible Tuesday Stillwell has been granted a temporary restraining order and is eligible to play for Texas Tech against Illinois on Tuesday, Red Raider Sports reports.

Impact This clears Stillwell to suit up Tuesday after his eligibility had been in question. His short-term availability is now tied to that 14-day window, though his recent foot issue still affects his outlook. Stillwell should be a key player for Texas Tech if he stays healthy, and his lingering foot injury will determine whether he can suit up for the team's next game.

Josiah Moseley - Just misses double double Moseley ended Thursday's 76-58 win over Bethune-Cookman with 12 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes.

Impact Moseley came off the bench and followed up a 13 point, eight rebound performance on opening night by finishing just one rebound shy of a double double despite seeing just 21 minutes of action. The junior sixth man is in his second season with the program and is averaging 12.5 points and 8.5 rebounds through the Red Raiders' first two games.

Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn - Leads Red Raiders with 25 points Gibbs-Lawhorn amassed 25 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-11 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 32 minutes during Thursday's 76-58 win over Bethune-Cookman.

Impact Following a quiet five-point opening night performance, Gibbs-Lawhorn led Texas Tech with his 25-point effort. Following two seasons with Illinois, Gibbs-Lawhorn broke out last season with UNLV, averaging 20.7 points while shooting 49.7-percent from the field and 41.4-percent from downtown. The senior guard has started each of the first two games for the Red Raiders and will play a prominent role for a Texas Tech squad that is looking to battle for a Big 12 crown.

Cruz Davis - Sets tone in team debut Davis posted 15 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and six steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 76-42 win over Jackson State.

Impact Cruz, a Hofstra transfer, finished second on the Red Raiders in scoring and led the team with five assists while adding a career-high six steals as Texas Tech cruised to the victory. The 5-in-5 eligible point guard is primed for a big season in coach Grant McCasland's offense, stepping into a role that has produced the Big 12 leader in assists in each of the past two seasons--Elijah Hawkins (2024-25) and Christian Anderson (2025-26)

Jamichael Stillwell - Out Monday Stillwell (not injury related/foot) was spotted in a walking boot ahead of Monday's opener against Jackson State, Cory Whitman of The Daily Toreador reports.

Impact Stillwell's eligibility status remains in question, but the senior forward will not play regardless of his status as he appears to be recovering from an undisclosed foot injury. The 6-foot-8 senior, who averaged 11.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 30 starts with UCF last season, will continue to have his eligibility and injury status monitored moving forward.

JT Toppin - Isn't close to a return Toppin (knee) reportedly isn't close to practicing and is still without a timetable to return, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact According to Red Raiders head coach Grant McCasland, "He 100% would have redshirted" if the NCAA didn't pass the new five-for-five age-based eligibility model. If Toppin would've redshirted the 2026-27 campaign if he could, that seems to indicate the forward is set to miss a solid chunk of the season. Texas Tech will miss him, as he averaged 21.8 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists last year. He's still expected to return at some point, but the Red Raiders appear poised to have to survive without him for a solid portion of the 2026-27 season.

Jamichael Stillwell - Elegibility reversed Stillwell has been deemed ineligible for the 2026-27 season after the NCAA won its attempt to stay the preliminary injunction in Georgia, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Stillwell committed to Texas Tech in July and was granted an extra year of eligibility in August, but the decision has been reversed, so his status for the 2026-27 season is now uncertain. Stillwell is expected to be a key player for Texas Tech if he's able to suit up next season, though. Last season at UCF, the 6-foot-8 forward averaged 11.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.1 steals.

AUGUST 18 • SI.COM

Donovan Atwell - Running it back with Texas Tech Atwell will return to Texas Tech for a fifth season of college basketball, the program announced.

Impact Atwell is taking advantage of recent court rulings granting high school athletes from the class of 2022 another year of eligibility in the wake of the "5-for-5" ruling. Last season, his first year at Texas Tech after beginning his career at North Carolina-Greensboro, he started all 34 games and averaged 13.5 points and 3.2 rebounds while shooting 45.8 percent from deep on 8.4 attempts per game. His addition to the 2026-27 Red Raiders is a pretty significant development in Lubbock, and he should feasibly slide right back into a starting role.

LaTrell Hoover - Back with Texas Tech Hoover will return to Texas Tech for the 2026-27 season, per Jamie Shaw of On3.com.

Impact Hoover decided to redshirt during the 2025-26 campaign after not seeing any minutes as a true freshman. The 6-foot-11 forward will look to continue developing with the team and compete for minutes in a competitive Red Raiders' frontcourt.

AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE

Marial Akuentok - Returning to Texas Tech Akuentok will return to play for Texas Tech for the 2026-27 season, per Jamie Shaw of On3.com.

Impact Akuentok is set to return to the Red Raiders' frontcourt after appearing in 15 games during the 2025-26 campaign. The 6-foot-11 forward averaged 1.1 points and 1.7 rebounds per game as a freshman and is expected to serve as a depth piece in Texas Tech's rotation this upcoming season.

AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE

Darrion Williams - Commits to Texas Tech Williams has committed to Texas Tech for the 2026-27 season, Joe Tipton of On3.com reports.

Impact Williams posted averages of 14.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game in 33 starts with NC State in the 2025-26 season. He was granted an extra year of eligibility on July 31, and he should be a regular presence in the Red Raiders' frontcourt. He could form an impressive pairing next to JT Toppin (knee) once the latter is healthy.

AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE

Jamichael Stillwell - Granted eligibility Stillwell is among the players listed in a recently granted injunction in the state of Georgia giving him an additional season of eligibility, per Jeff Goodman of Fieldof68.com.

Impact Stillwell transferred to Texas Tech during this past offseason following a single season with UCF. The 6-foot-8 senior averaged 11.7 points and 8.2 rebounds per game across 31 contests for the Knights this past season. With the granted injunction, Stillwell will officially join the Red Raiders for the 2026-27 season.

JT Toppin - Progressing in recovery Toppin's recovery from the torn ACL he suffered in February is progressing well, with Texas Tech head coach Grant McCasland saying that the "progress that's being made is awesome"...

Impact This is another positive update for Toppin, following a prior report indicating he plans to play during the 2026-27 season. However, there still doesn't appear to be a firm timetable for the Texas Tech forward's return. If healthy, Toppin should be a key contributor for Texas Tech in the 2026-27 season. He averaged 21.8 points and 10.8 rebounds prior to the injury.

AUGUST 1 • ROTOWIRE

Jamichael Stillwell - Lands at Texas Tech Stillwell will transfer to Texas Tech, per Joe Tipton of On3.com.

Impact Stillwell is still waiting on an additional year of eligibility via the injunction process, but if he's approved to play in 2026-27 - as many players seeking a preliminary injunction already have been - he'll take his talents to Lubbock. Last season at UCF, the 6-foot-8 forward averaged 11.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.1 steals.

JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Josiah Moseley - Breakout candidate for 2026-27 Moseley is a breakout candidate for Iowa State's 2026-27 season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Even though Moseley's 2025-26 season includes fewer than 15 games, it is not because of the junior's ability but due to his health. Since mid-February, he has logged a regular role. Despite logging fewer than 15.0 minutes per game, he also averaged 5.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks, plus rates for his allotted time. Now that LeJuan Watts is no longer part of Texas Tech, perhaps Moseley's role and subsequent output can significantly improve.
