During the press conference, Sorrells made a pitch to Lubbock’s own Jarrett Culver to sign up, but noted there are many players the team would love to have. Two roster spots will remain open, should other former players look to join the team closer to the start date. They know West Texas, so it's really good to see." "This will be special," Gotcher said, "just to see guys that we know and you have a feel for. This time around, the 10-player team is entirely made up of players who called Lubbock home at one time or another.

We've assembled a pretty talented roster that I think has a chance to win the whole thing. "I think that highlights the passion that our community has for the sport of basketball," Sorrells said during a Wednesday press conference, "and obviously it's made it a lot easier to recruit talented guys like Toddrick (Gotcher) with it being in Lubbock. ![]()
