Texas Tech basketball earns commitment from Minnesota's HS Gatorade POY Nolan Groves

The Texas Tech basketball team has its second member of the 2025 high school recruiting class.

The Red Raiders earned a commitment from Nolan Groves out of Orono, Minnesota, Saturday night. Groves announced his commitment on Instagram.

Groves joins fellow Class of 2025 recruit Marial Akuentok, though Akuentok reclassified to join the Red Raiders for the second semester and took a redshirt for the 2024-25 season.

Listed at 6-foot-5, 200-pound guard by 247Sports, Groves is an unranked prospect. He previously committed to Yale before reopening his recruitment earlier this month. He also had offers from Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Groves was the Minnesota Gatorade player of the year after averaging 34.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, six assists and three steals this season.
