After celebrating this country’s Independence Day, we discuss all things 23 for this the 23rd episode of the 23 Personnel Podcast.

The deadline for drafted baseball players to sign with their teams has come and gone and all but one player has signed with their team and will not return – Caleb Killian.

Summer basketball is in full swing and Zhaire Smith is continuing to kill it. The Texas Tech basketball staff has been completed and they continue to add players to this year’s recruiting class. We even talk about high level recruits and how we as fans are going to have to accept antics like announcement videos with these types of players.

As we’re nearing only 50 days until the 2019 football season kicks off, we talk about the surge of recruits Tech has been able to land lately, some NCAA rule changes (including transfers and redshirts), Big 12 Media Days, and additional bowls added to the 2020 season. We’re starting to plan the fantasy, head-to-head draft and we’ll likely host the draft “live” on the podcast.

We received lots of great questions, including what Tech might do if Kingsbury were fired midseason, how we’d fare against MLS goalies, and why Canada doesn’t have queso.
