NOt to worry, TexasTech is hundreds of miles from civilization.  Lubbock is NOT a destination.  A kid who can play at any P5 school is more likely to play for any other P5 school as for TTech.

1.  Academics: TTech is a last resort school.  [URL]https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/texas-tech-university-3644[/URL]  Most Texas kids want to go anywhere else.
2.  Aside from being close to anything, Lubbock is in the north-western part of the state.  It's cold all winter, hot all summer, windy always, and surrounded by plains.
3.  Texas Tech fans are obnoxious.  I live in the Houston Metro and have yet to meet a TTech grad that was not proud an arrogant about having attended TTech.  Recall, TAMU is 80 miles away, UT is a 180 miles away, Rice is in town; Baylor (academically a good school) TCU, SMU and LSU are within 200 miles, being arrogant about TTech is ignorant in this area.  I don't address the fact that nearly every prestigious university is represented in HTown, it just makes the TTech arrogance that much more obnoxious.
4.  A person can fly to almost any other school as quickly as to TTech.
5.  It's not as easy to recruit as many people think.  TTech does not out-recruit UT, TAMU, LSU, OU and UofH.

Anyway, TTEch is not a destination job.  I don't see Babers in Lubbock.  Obviously he could win there, but he is already winning in Syracuse, has a Dome, has support has essentially completed the rebuild, why start over?
