TEXAS TECH UPDATES

By mark rogers

The team has been hitting more in practices this fall. Something Leach never did. Leach believed in keeping guys injury free. Tuberville believes that you can't be a good defensive team if you don't hit during practice. There haven't been any season-ending injuries to major contributors, but there are a lot of guys banged up right now.

Lyle Leong is a daily appearance on offensive coordinator Neal Brown's tweets. He tweets every few days about guys who did well in practice that day. Leong gets the nod more often than not. He'll be one of the leading WRs this year.

LB Brian Duncan has been named a Butkus Award finalist.

After getting a late start and having the disadvantage of being a "new regime", the Tech coaches have put together an amazing 2011 recruiting class which includes 3 players in the Rivals Top 250. They've only had more than one Top 250 one other time - in 2006 - and only one of the commits actually made it to campus (Michael Crabtree). Tech has a total of 18 commits. To put it in perspective, Texas has 16 commits in the Top 250. OU has 8. Nebraska has 5. So Tech is still not competing with the top dogs, but it's pretty good for them. I mean that as a compliment.
