reading up on Lane it seems he was a pretty big moron in high school (assaulting a teacher and running from the cops when they served a warrant on him at school) and pretty much used that to earn himself a trip to community college

Tech took him out of CC and he had academic issues at Tech that kept him out half a season....I am not a fan of recruiting players like that, but Kliff took plenty of dolts and the reality is for me once you take them as long as they perform and stay away from being stupid you keep them.....having academic struggles to me is not close to the same as behavioral so the fact that he had academic issues is not a reason to get rid of him and the fact he worked through them means you 100% let him back

if he had behavioral issues after getting a chance (especially out of CC) I would say 100% let him go no questions ask (like jaret dummy)

What’s up with Tech? They got enough resources to be a respectable program. There’s hundreds of great players in Texas who want to play in Texas. There’s no reason they shouldn’t be a better product than Baylor or TCU. Iowa State is looking way more desirable than Tech. 65K+  seat stadium, sold out home games, brand new facilities, great coach, star QB, decent recruiting classes etc.

December of 2009 changed all that...

Tech has been in 'recovery' ever since.

The hoops and baseball teams say your assessment is spot on.

Bad news for Tech..... guess West Texas not his thing.....

Oregon: Source tells FootballScoop that Texas Tech outside receivers coach Jovon Bouknight is expected to join the Oregon staff as receivers coach. Bouknight spent the past ten seasons on staff with new Texas Tech head coach Matt Wells at Utah State, coaching the outside receivers the past two seasons before leaving for Lubbock with Wells in early December of 2018.

Oregon is just a higher profile/upside job, to be fair. Especially the way Cristobal is recruiting.

Joel Filani hired as WR Coach for Matt Wells' staff at Tech.

https://247sports.com/college/texas-tech/Article/Joel-Filani-Texas-Tech-receivers-coach--129092369/

Former Red Raider standout receiver Joel Filani is the new outside receivers coach. Filani was a two-time All-Big 12 receiver at Texas Tech during the Mike Leach era, is 10th on the Red Raider career receiving yards list with 2,667 and sixth on the career touchdown receptions list with 23. He replaces Jovon Bouknight who is joining the Oregon coaching staff.

Filani returns to Texas Tech after three seasons at North Texas under former Texas Tech assistant coach Seth Littrell. 

Prior to his time at UNT, Filani spent one season at Washington State in an offensive quality control position under Leach, his former coach at Tech. Also on the Cougars' coaching staff in 2015 was current Texas Tech offensive coordinator David Yost, who coached inside receivers at Washington State from 2013-15. It's this connection which figures to be as integral as Filani's playing career for his return to the South Plains. Yost has made it clear it's important he knows and trusts who he's working with on the offensive staff.

Saw Wells interviewed by ESPN during the Tech/TCU basketball game couple of weeks ago.

Impressed.   He has  the talk/swag.    Will be able to recruit. 

His recruiting may be turn out to be good, but history suggests an alternative. Below are his recruiting numbers 2013 through 2019, with his best yearly result for each metric bolded. 2013-2018 were USU/MWC, 2019 TTU/B12.

Average composite athlete ranking: .7685, .7553, .7966, .8006, .7899, .7880, .8441

Composite recruiting rank among conference-mates: 10, 9, 5, 8, 9, 9, 10

National composite rank: 109, 111, 96, 92, 104, 109, 67

For some perspective on his transition class at Tech, Kliff's Tech transition class in 2013 was .8336/ 7/ 43. Based on these numbers, Wells has recruited comparably to Kliff in his Tech transition class, and like lukewarm-to-hot garbage in his years at USU. He never finished in the top 3 recruiting in the MWC, and he never won the MWC.The future may be undiscovered country, but the horizon in Lubbock is far enough away that one gets a sense that he knows what may be down the road for the foreseeable future.

You’ve got to.  Accentuate the positive.  

Boop boop dee doo

Current talent at Tech probably similar to Utah State, and Wells manages his Staff better than Kliffy since he's got Yost to run the offense.

If Wells can figure out how to recruit better at Tech than he did at Utah State, the Red Raiders will have better teams under Wells vs Kliffy.....

Bill Nye trivia: he does not have an advanced degree nor any pure science (BS eng, Cornell 1977) degree. He worked days at Boeing and did comedy on the side until quitting engineering to do comedy full-time in 1986. He launched his TV show using federal grant money in 1993.

Wells has also hired N. Tx WR coach Joel Filani for the same position on his staff.  Tommerdahl and Filani replace coaches who left for Oregon and Penn State.

Filani's financial advisory activities are pretty limited though.
