Texas Tech basketball has landed a major scoring threat from the transfer portal, as former Hofstra guard Cruz Davis has committed to play for the Red Raiders. Davis, who averaged an impressive 20.1 points per game last season, is set to bring his explosive offensive game to Lubbock and the ultra-competitive Big 12 conference.

Davis's journey to this point has been one of resilience and growth. He began his collegiate career under the legendary Rick Pitino at Iona before a brief, injury-shortened stint at St. John's. Finding his true stride at Hofstra, Davis transformed into a premier scorer, jumping from 6.5 points per game as a freshman to leading the Pride's offense over the last two seasons, starting all 67 games he played.

Now, he joins a Texas Tech program that has become a consistent force under head coach Grant McCasland. The Red Raiders are coming off their third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, boasting a 23-11 record last season. Davis's proven scoring ability will be a welcome addition as McCasland looks to build on a 74-31 record and make another deep March run.

For Red Raider fans, this commitment signals an exciting new chapter. Davis, once a three-star recruit ranked among the nation's top combo guards, has developed into a dynamic playmaker ready for the big stage. His arrival in Lubbock promises to inject even more energy into a program known for its toughness and relentless style of play.
