Who Will be Visiting for the Texas Tech / Oklahoma Game?

Texas Tech follows up a big recruiting weekend against Texas with another one this week against Oklahoma. Tech has some serious targets in town, including 4-star S Kahlil Haughton, WR's Tony Brown and Donta Thompson, current UCLA commit Fred Ulu Perry and two linemen from future classes that could become Red Raiders in the near future. Let's take a look at them.

Football Recruits:

Kahlil Haughton - Safety (Midway HS, Waco, TX)

Kahlil Haughton will take this 5th and final official visit this weekend when he visits Lubbock for the OU game. One advantage of having your school as a final visit is that when he decided to commit, your visit will be fresh on his mind and probably the one he'll remember the most because it was the soonest. His other official visits thus far have been to Oklahoma, Nebraska, Arkansas and Baylor. He also went to Oklahoma last weekend to watch OU and Baylor. I wouldn't be surprised if he visited during the Baylor/Texas Tech game for a similar reason. This won't be Haughton's first time in Lubbock, as he's visited there twice during the summer. This will, however, be his first visit during the football season watching a game. He'll likely look at the atmosphere Tech bring (which will likely be loud) and how the safeties for Tech play. I bet he also looks at our safety depth and the chance to come in a take a spot. I'm not sure when Haughton will be deciding, but a good visit could go a long way for Haughton. Tech currently has no DB's taken in the 2015 class.

Fred Ulu Perry - Center (St. Louis, Honolulu, HI)

Fred Ulu Perry will be making his 2nd official visit this weekend when he sees the Red Raiders take on the Sonners. Fred was a long time Tech target before committing to UCLA in July. Rivals has him as a solid verbal, but Scout has him listed as a Soft Verbal. I'm not sure where Ulu Perry stands, but flipping him could be huge for Tech. Hays and Smith were in Hawaii last week, so maybe they paid a visit to Ulu Perry. He also likely has been hearing about Tech from Fehoko as well. This weekend, I bet Ulu Perry sees the O-line protects the QB. Also with Kaster entering his senior season next year, Ulu Perry would be able to start by his 2nd year at Tech (unless they keep Castaneda at Center and he beats out Ulu Perry). Hopefully he sees this and considers flipping from the Bruins to the Red Raiders.

Tony Brown - Wide Receiver (La Mirada HS, La Mirada, CA)

Tony Brown will be taking his 2nd official visit this weekend when he visits Lubbock. His first official was two weeks ago when he watch Nebraska take on Purdue. Tony Brown is a WR that Tech offered when the season started this year, but he has quickly become a high target for the Red Raiders. In an interview with Zac Torres, he stated that Texas Tech was currently his favorite. He said Tech despite already visiting Nebraska and not taking his official to Texas Tech yet. Brown will likely be looking for what the receivers do and how they are used in their offense. I'm not sure what receiver plays like Brown the most, but if I had to guess, I would say Marquez. Tony Brown will likely see how they use him the offense this weekend. He'll be visiting WSU in two weeks, so he'll probably wait til after that visit to decide. However, he could be someone that pulls that trigger while at Tech or shortly after, so he's someone to keep an eye on. Tech is looking to add two more WRs this class. On a side note, if Tech uses the two WR spots and Johnson decided to come to Tech, they'll still add him. Tech is trying to get 5 or so WRs, but they aren't limited to just 5 spots.

Donta Thompson - Wide Receiver (Ennis HS, Ennis, TX)

Donta Thompson will be taking his 1st official this weekend to Texas Tech. Thompson is a tall WR that currently doesn't have an offer from Texas Tech, but has seen major interest from the Red Raiders. Donta so far roughly 9 offers, and maybe he'll add one from Texas Tech soon. While at Tech, he'll likely see how Cantrell is used in the offense and the depth for tall receivers. He'll likely also talk to former teammate Jah'Shawn Johnson also, who played at Ennis HS last year. I couldn't find any film on Thompson, so I don't know what he can do currently.

Michael Williams - Defensive Tackle (All Saints Episcopal, Fort Worth, TX)

Michael Williams will be taking an unofficial visit to Texas Tech this weekend. He has already visited Oklahoma State so far this year. Texas Tech offered Williams back in June and have been on his tail ever since. Tech has 3 D-linemen commits for 2015, but are losing a bunch of plays after the 2015 season and will be need bodies on the D-line. Williams is one of the better Defensive Linemen prospects in the 2016 class and Tech has been pushing hard to try and get a commitment from Williams. When Michael is  visiting this weekend, my guess is that he'll see how Mike Smith uses the defensive tackles in the scheme. He's still early in the process and probably won't commit anytime soon, but it's good to make a good impression on Williams and keep that impression on him going into the 2016 recruiting season.

Jack Anderson - Center (Frisco HS, Frisco, TX)

Jack Anderson will be making his 2nd visit to Lubbock this weekend when the Red Raiders play Oklahoma. He also visited Tech for the West Virginia game. He has also visited A&M, OU, Baylor and TCU. Anderson's first offer was from Texas Tech back in May and he's added about 7 offers since then. Jack Anderson has a history of family members attending Tech, as his parent went to TTU along with his sister. There's not a whole lot more Jack could look at that he hasn't seen already, but hopefully the atmosphere for the game is good and he enjoys his time. The only commit for the 2017 class so far is offensive linemen Tyler Castaneda.
