Lancaster WR eyeing visit

With Donte Coleman's recent decommitment from Texas Tech, the Red Raiders are exploring their options to fill that now-open spot in the 2016 recruiting class. Until it's filled, Tech will be courting many different athletes to find the right fit. If a high-caliber receiver wants to join the fold, they will likely use the scholarship there, but if not, it will probably be used to add another defensive player. One receiver who has had increased contact with the Red Raiders lately is Lancaster's 5.7 three-star Tyrell Alexander.

WHAT'S NEXT?:

Alexander, a former Oklahoma State commit, has the most contact with Tennessee, Houston, and Texas Tech as well as staying in touch with the Pokes. Right now he remains open and in no hurry to make a decision, but with visits setup to Tennessee and Houston and a likely visit to Tech, his recruitment could take a turn if he finds the right fit.

IN HIS WORDS:

"Texas Tech is wanting me to go out there this week. I most likely will, I still have to get back with them. The coaches text me to see how I've been doing, I've been hearing from them a lot lately. They want me and a few of my teammates to come out and see them play. They always texts me and tells me good luck on my games and asks who we're playing and how practice has been and send me a motivational quote and stuff like that."

OUR REACTION:

The Red Raiders, now with 24 instead of 25 commits, have several options of what to do with the slot in the class. Adding a receiver like Alexander would be a very nice bonus at this point, and getting him on a visit this weekend is the first step in the right direction for Tech. - Will McKay
