More on Nickens’ recruitment and Texas Tech

According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, it is a close race between all three schools for Nickens’ commitment. North Texas leads at 38.1% and the Red Raiders have the next-best odds at 33.3%. Meanwhile, UTSA has the third-best chance at 28.6%.

RPM was released to the public in December. The On3 engineering group teamed up with Spiny.ai to create the industry’s first algorithm and machine learning-based product to predict where athletes will attend college. 

It factors in machine learning, social sentiment, visits and historical trends. However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.

Regarding Texas Tech, the Red Raiders’ 2025 recruiting class has no commitments. Texas Tech’s 2024 recruiting class currently has two pledges in Madisonville (Texas) three-star athlete Lorenzo Johnson and Hawley (Texas) three-star athlete Chandlin Myers.

The Red Raiders’ 2023 recruiting class is currently No. 24 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 4 in the Big 12. Additionally, Texas Tech’s group contains 25 commitments and is composed of four four-stars and 21 three-stars.

Nickens has an On3 NIL Valuation of $24K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
