Batcho has recorded 11.8 points and 8.2 rebounds across 12 games with 11 starts this season, and his absence should leave KJ Allen and Robert Jennings to take on bigger roles alongside 6-foot-8 forward Kevin Obanor.

Biggest standout in scrimmage Batcho was the best player in Texas Tech's scrimmage against Tulsa, according to Jeff Goodman of Stadium.
Impact Batcho showed flashes as a raw freshman of a lot of potential down the road. It seems that the 6-11 sophomore had a really good offseason. Batcho has huge opportunity in front of him with elite transfer Fardaws Aimaq set to miss the first few months of the season with a broken foot. If Batcho can get off to a good start to the season he will likely keep a decent role even after Aimaq is able to return. Veteran forward Kevin Obanor will be his main running mate in the frontcourt to begin the campaign on Nov. 7 against Northwestern State.
