Texas Tech basketball lands 4-star guard to 2027 recruiting class - Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

Britt, a 6-foot, 190-pound guard out of The Villages Charter School in Florida, is ranked the No. 52 overall prospect in the 2027 class by 247Sports. He picked the Red Raiders over offers from South Florida, Dayton, California and Cincinnati. The timing stands out too. Britt committed on the first day of practice for the 2026-27 season, meaning Tech locked up a future piece before this year's roster has even played a game.

For a program that lives and dies on guard play under head coach Grant McCasland, landing a four-star point guard this early sends a signal. Texas Tech basketball has built a reputation for pulling in talent from outside Texas, and a Florida prospect turning down Cincinnati and South Florida to play in Lubbock says something about where the program sits nationally right now.

For a fan base that pays close attention to recruiting rankings, this is the kind of early win that builds momentum heading into future signing periods.

Britt won't step foot on campus for two more seasons, and he's already the highest-ranked commit in a class that didn't exist until Monday.
